Grant cash will aid Trust's Peru work

An international charity with roots in Bo'ness has received a £24,922 award.

The cash will allow it to get more British kids involved in its Peruvian voluntary work.

The Vine Trust, recognised by Lloyd's TSB Foundation for Scotland, is headed by former Old Kirk minister, Reverend Willie McPherson.

Its chairman is Reverend Albert Bogle of St Andrew's Church, and Branches gift shop in the town, manned by local volunteers since 1985, provides year-round support.

The Vine Trust's work in transforming Peruvian communities, which also includes medical projects and establishing sustainable businesses, will be recognised today (Friday) by Falkirk Council.

Provost Pat Reid will host a civic reception at the town hall, attended by both ministers plus guests.

Full story at the Queensferry Gazette.
