COMMUNITY organisations which are helping to make life better for individuals and families in the Garnock Valley joined MSPs, Tesco colleagues and representatives from greenspace scotland at a celebration event at the Scottish Parliament last week.

The event was organised to mark the success of the supermarket’s flagship community grant scheme, Bags of Help.

The initiative sees grants raised from the sale of carrier bags awarded to thousands of local community projects every year.

Tesco and greenspace scotland invited representatives from almost 40 groups to an exclusive Parliamentary event at Holyrood.

Dalry Community Development Trust, Garnock Valley Allotment Association and KCFC Roma football team were all there.
