Renovations underway for 1st Ramsey Scout Group HQ

Scouts in the north of the Island will receive a grant towards the renovation of their HQ, thanks to the Manx Lottery Trust.

The £2,500 grant will pay to replace the flooring at the Northern Scouts headquarters in Ramsey, as part of a full renovation project.

Paul Aldridge, from 1st Ramsey Scout Group, says the funding will help them continue to deliver diverse and inclusive activities to their 80 plus members in a safe and welcoming environment.

The grant was part of the Trust's Smaller Grant Programme, which provides community funding between £300 and £2,500.
