A further five community projects have received funding from the Big Lottery Fund Growing Community Assets scheme.

Projects which were successful this time round include the Isle of Muck community enterprise group who received funding for a new community centre on the island; the Torridon district community association who'll be extending Torridon hall and the Applecross community company who want to install new pumps and an electronic point of sale system in the community owned filling station. You can find further information on these projects on the Big lottery website.

The Big Lottery Fund have also recently announced that they expect to have £100 million more than was originally anticipated for future investment in their Scottish grant programmes. The rise is due to additional lottery ticket sales and revised financial forecasting and brings the total allocated for 2010 - 2015 to £400 million.
