Hilton Community Cafe Project

This week was a big week for our Cafe project. On Monday I met with Highland Council to provide representation for our application for funding. The outcome of that meeting was a £45, 000 award of funding. On Wednesday, myself and Colm met with The Robertson Trust who were very impressed with the plans for the premises and also the ongoing work of both Chris and Colm in the community. We heard that our plans matched well with Robertson Trusts funding criteria and that they were optimistic that our application would be received well by the Trustees when they next consider proposals in March. Our project will be put forward with a recommendation of a sum of £10, 000 be awarded towards our development. Some way still to go but we have had a very positive week.
Prayer still required!
