In 2017 we awarded a grant of towards the refurbishment of a training room in Ayrshire, Scotland.

Organisation

The Scottish Centre for Personal Safety provides advice and self –defence and first aid training to people across Scotland. The charity aims to save lives by preventing and reducing violence and the fear of violence; and to empower individuals to manage safer lives.

Training Room refurbishment project

The charity rents a building which makes them accessible to the local community, but was in a state of disrepair. The designated training room in particular was near dereliction and in need of extensive refurbishment including damp proofing, rewiring and new floors. The refurbishment allowed the organisation to provide training to local community groups, survivors of domestic abuse, and other vulnerable people. The room is also offered to other community organisations for support group meetings and special events. A grant of £10,000 was awarded.
