A BOWMORE charity has received a grant of £4,560 from the Bank of Scotland Foundation to help with staff and running costs of its aqua care therapy project.
Islay and Jura Community Enterprises is just one of the 118 Scottish charities which benefited from the £1,426,180 fund during 2016.
A foundation spokesperson explained: ‘More than 30 years ago, parents on the islands were concerned their children lived surrounded by water and so, in 1989, Islay and Jura Community Enterprises Ltd was created to teach children to swim.
