Letter from Chairman, August 2018.

This may seem like a Begging letter. It is not. There are times, when resources are stretched and Funds have been cut, one has to call on the community to help. This is one of those unfortunate times.

As many of you will know or have read in The Galloway News, the SCVS is in great danger of folding. This would be a disaster for the many charities, companies and individuals it serves.

I, as Chairman and the many hard workers of the SCVS would like this great asset and the many services it provides to continue. However, this will not be possible without some monetary help.

The Stewartry, Kirkcudbright and its residents deserve the best of help and expertise when needed. I know if we can acquire enough donations the SCVS can continue to supply this excellent service.

If you feel you can help please call SCVS on 01557 331346 or e-mail info@stewartrycvs.org.uk to receive a form for you to contribute monthly donations.

Thank you

Derek Smith
Chairman.
