The £1,402 Awards for All grant from the Big Lottery Fund will pay for a brick block construction set, archery game, pool table, Lego friends and Ninjago, and table-top games.

MSP for Dunfermline, Bill Walker, said, “Congratulations to Abbeyview Kids Club on this funding. The club forms an important part of the local community by providing affordable childcare for children from a range of local schools.

“This award will allow the Kids Club to continue in its provision of quality play time for children.

“I would encourage other groups to consider applying for funding, wherever possible, in order to support their community projects.”

Abbeyview Kids Club is based in Abbeyview Community Centre and is open Monday to Friday from 14:30 to 18:00 during the school term, 8:00 to 18:00 Monday during holidays and in-service days. It caters for children aged 4 to 14 years.

The club’s project meets the Awards for All outcome of “People and Communities are healthier”.
