We’re delighted to share some fantastic news about one of our major projects - the refurbishment of the Dunbeath children’s playpark! In partnership with the Dunbeath Community Centre, we’ve been hard at work raising funds and applying for grant funding to bring this much-needed project to life. Thanks to the generosity and support of various organisations and individuals, we’ve now achieved our full funding target!

A Milestone Reached

Securing the funding for the playpark refurbishment marks a significant milestone for us and the community. While there are still funder terms, conditions, and some legal matters to conclude, this accomplishment brings us one step closer to giving local children a modern and safe space to play, explore, and grow.

Moving Forward

We’re in ongoing communication with Kompan, our chosen playpark equipment supplier, to ensure everything moves forward smoothly. As the project progresses, we will continue to keep you updated on key developments and timelines.
