Viridor Credits Scotland celebrates its first million in East Lothian

Friday, 29 August 2008

A warm evening in Dunbar saw nearly 100 community activists meet to celebrate the spending of £1million of landfill communities funding in East Lothian. Viridor Credits Scotland, managed by Forward Scotland, has been operating for nearly 10 years and has funded a number of high profile local projects including the John Muir Birthplace, The Scottish Seabird Centre and the Hallhill Healthy Living Centre as well as dozens of equally valuable local improvements led by local people. The evening was hosted by Viridor Credits, based in Taunton and its chairman Dr Iain White. The highlight of a very successful night was the personal contributions of speakers from Aberlady, Direlton and Dunbar who spoke with pride about the achievements of projects in their communities. Provost Sheena Richardson collected a specially designed award, made of slavaged timer and recycled glass, on behalf of all the communities that have benefitted from funding from Viridor Credits Scotland. A booklet of local project has been compiled to mark this occassion.
