A new £220,000 fund has been set up to help local community groups improve their resilience in case of flooding, which is an increasing problem around the coast of Arran.
The funds can be applied for through Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN).
Simon Crowther, MD of Flood Protection Solutions, is encouraging groups to contact his company for advice with their application forms to help communities gain vital funding. Local community groups can apply for the grants from £1,000 to £20,000.
