COMMUNITY

As you will see from our portfolio we are involved in a number of community based projects. As a Practice we are keen to give something back to the Community and assist these groups, which in turn brings huge benefit to a much wider group of people than most other projects could. Particularly important are community based projects in some less affluent areas where these projects have the maximum impact.

We have worked on a number of projects with Showcase The Street, Brechin Cricket Club, The Baffin Street 'Backies,' and Togs for Tots To Teens to name a few.

These projects often involve working for little or no cost to ensure the maximum benefit to the organisation, and means we get involoved with Funding Applications from Trusts and other funding bodies.

Alastair is also the current Vice Chairman of Dundee Round Table, which helps out with fundraising for local Charities in the Dundee City Area.
