A CENTRE at the heart of the community has been awarded cash to keep delivering hot meals.
Branchton Community Centre have been chosen by Oak Tree Housing to benefit from government cash to continue their Covid-19 response efforts.
Centre manager Willie Wilson said: "When we first started delivering meals to vulnerable people in the community we aimed at reaching 200 people.
"However, demand for our service has now increased to the stage that we are now being asked to deliver up to 400 meals per day.
"The grant will allow us to provide this additional supply until at least the end of August if required.
“In addition to our meals, we also supply essential items like groceries and toiletries.
"The grant again will allow us to be able to continue this work."
