The West Lothian based Rosebery Centre is one of three good causes to have secured a share of a £25,000 funding pot, thanks to Scotmid’s Community Connect initiative.
The Rosebery Centre, based in Polbeth has been awarded the top grant of £15,000.
The charity supports older people living with dementia in the community. This funding will be used to provide nutritious healthy lunches and snacks, offering members valuable time to socialise and helping to combat the isolation they face due to their condition.
Anne Marson, Centre Manager at The Rosebery Centre, said: “We are overwhelmed with this generous donation from Scotmid. The support will enable us to continue providing healthy meals to members while they socialise together, significantly improving the quality of life for dementia patients.”
