A RECOVERY and support service based in Greenock has been given financial support by Inverclyde Council.
Moving On Inverclyde secured a slice of the local authority’s community grants fund to support its structured health and wellbeing sessions, which aim to help people make better recovery from their alcohol and drug use.
The charity had asked the council for funding of £6,700, but councillors on the authority’s grants sub-committee agreed with an officer’s recommendation to award £2,250.
More than 100 groups across Inverclyde submitted bids to the fund totalling more than £850,000, but with just £251,000 available, very few of the groups who made requests received the full amount.
