Ceangail CIC, a Stirling-based social enterprise, has received an award from The National Lottery Community Fund, made possible by National Lottery players. The funding will allow the not-for-profit to deliver two of its Skills Connect programmes for up to 40 young people in the Stirling and Forth Valley area.
Kate Still, National Lottery Community Fund Scotland Chair, said: “National Lottery funding can make amazing things happen in local communities across the country. This project delivered by Ceangail CIC is a great example of community activity in action, showing just what can be achieved when people come together for a common cause or to help others. National Lottery players can be proud to know that the money they raise is helping to support this vital work which is making a real difference to so many.”
Matt McGrandles, Ceangail’s Executive Director, commented: “This award from the National Lottery Community Fund was very welcome news indeed. We will now be able to get back to work on providing creative vocational training opportunities for young people, re-connecting with our employability network and delivering our social aims of being part of a young person’s journey towards employment.”
The social enterprise creates and delivers projects in the Tourism sector in the hopes of inspiring young people to pursue a career in the direction. With the Covid-19 pandemic slowly coming to an end, Ceangail is looking forward to business as usual and has some exciting plans as part of its 10-year recovery, which aims to reach up to 2,500 young people annually.
Ceangail will be reaching out to organisations and young people in the coming months in order to fill the places on its vocational training programmes. For more information, contact office@ceangail.org or visit www.ceangail.org.
