A COMMUNITY project has received a four-figure sum from Inverclyde Council's Community Grants Fund.
The Auchmountain Glen Project has been given a conditional grant of £1,500 in the latest round of the fund.
The money will be used to help cover the costs of hall rental, materials, and fuel costs.
The Auchmountain Glen project was originally set up to rejuvenate its namesake, which is a beauty spot in Greenock's east end.
In 2021, the work of the project received national recognition when it was named as the country's 'most improved walking space' by the Scottish Walking Awards.
The volunteer-led project has provided significant improvements for walkers, including new walkways at the glen off Kilmacolm Road.
The project was one of more than 100 applicants to the grants fund, though with the applicants seeking a total of more than £850,000 from a fund of just £250,000, almost all the groups which applied for funds had to settle for less than they'd asked for.
