Government cash to help battle isolation, loneliness and mental health inequalities made worse by the pandemic is set to help Renfrewshire residents over the coming year.
The Scottish Government's Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for adults has been handed a further £15 million sum to help Scots hit by the unintended effects of the Coronavirus lockdowns.
Launched last October, the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for adults has helped nearly 2,000 initiatives deliver activities and programme aimed at encouraging those left lonely, isolated or battling mental health difficulties.
