Local MSP Bill Walker welcomed the news:

“I’m delighted by these most recent wins and congratulate Mr Sydney Maguire, of the Boys Brigade, and Mrs Rae Kilgour, Depute Headteacher of McLean Primary School.

“It’s great to see investment in healthy outdoor activities, and I say that as a former BB! I would strongly encourage any non-profit community group seeking funding to apply to Awards for All Scotland.

“Our local area has enjoyed a string of recent successes, with grants going to the Abbeyview Project, the West Fife Multi-Cultural Group and the High Valleyfield Club.”
