Almost half a million pounds is to be shared among 22 organisations across the region who have hit the National Lottery jackpot.
Fifteen awards in Dumfriesshire ranged from £84,000 for Upper Nithsdale Arts and Crafts Community Initiative’s social isolation tackling and health and wellbeing improvement programme to £2,100 for the Thornhill After School Lego Club.
The popular club was set up last year by local mum Somar Fergusson and gives children aged from five to 12 the chance to get creative with Lego.
