Hundreds of thousands of pounds has been handed out to community groups across the Stewartry to help those feeling isolated.
The cash has come from the Scottish Government’s communities, mental health and wellbeing fund, which has been administered by Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway.
One of the groups to benefit is Castle Douglas IT Centre, which received just over £27,000 for the Create IT project it is running with Glenkens Community Arts Trust (GCAT) as part of their Connecting Communities programme.
