Whiteford Congratulates Turriff Heritage Society On Funding Award

Banff & Buchan MP Dr Eilidh Whiteford has congratulated Turriff Heritage Society after it secured funding from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The ‘RBS Community Force’ is a new initiative which sees the Bank working with local communities to support the people, projects and charities making a real difference. Turriff Heritage Society won a public vote conducted via the Community Force website and has scooped £6275.

Welcoming the news, Eilidh Whiteford said:

“This is absolutely wonderful news for Turriff Heritage Society and I am delighted for the hard-working volunteers.

“I know that the Heritage Society have put in an immense amount of work since they received news that their funding was to be cut, and I was pleased to be able to support their event at Delgatie Castle recently.

“This funding award is richly-deserved and I congratulate the Society for their efforts.”
