Peebles and District Men’s Shed are bidding for funds to equip a wood and metal workshop and social space, where members can gather, engage in meaningful activity to improve physical wellbeing and thereby reduce social isolation in the Community.

The Food Foundation supports people with learning disabilities/other social needs to gain skills, confidence and catering qualifications. We want to create a garden café at Victoria Park Centre where our students can serve you tasty home-made food.

We are looking for the funding to assist with our venue hire for the next year. A Homecoming Event will start our centenary year to coincide with the end of the Beltane Festival. We hope that LBF will allow the art to be taught for years to come.

Positive Transitions, run by Peeblesshire Youth Trust & Tweeddale Youth Action will support children in the move from Primary to High School, which can trigger anxiety and stress. We will run activities and a summer residential to build confidence and resilience.

Vote for Newlands Activity Centre and turn the Centre into a first class Theatre, Dance, Performance and Exhibition space. A lighting rig will allow us to host new activities plus provide training and work experience to budding Theatre Technicians. 

Celebrating Walkerburn's heritage, pictures of the mill interior at work and local wildlife will be painted into the window openings of the mill on the A72, improving the village appearance and creating a focal point for residents and travellers.
