The final piece of the funding package for a warm space in Kirkcudbright could be slotted into place next week.
The committee of the town’s community centre wants to hold sessions “so that individuals can come together to sit, chat and socialise for a few hours where they don’t have to heat or use electricity at home”.
The group had originally planned to hold three sessions a week for a year, but scaled those plans down to two sessions a week for 26 weeks due to a delay in a decision from the National Lottery.
