Precious memories of her childhood growing up in Dumfries’ Lochside planted an idea in Angela Gilmour’s head to recreate the same traditional values for people in the area today.
Co-founder and managing director of Lochside Is Families Together (#LIFT), Angela has been working tirelessly for years to improve the estate for residents.
One of her aims has been to see green spaces come to life. And thanks to a cash boost from Dumfries and Galloway NHS Endowment Fund and the generosity of social housing landlord Wheatley Homes, the first stage of a project to plant hundreds of trees and create a haven for wildlife kicked off last Friday at the aptly named NANA (nature and nurture area) park.
