Auchinleck Community Development Initiative (ACDI) team have been working hard on behalf of their community.

ACDI is one of several organisations who have mobilised to provide support to the local community as part of the COVID-19 resilience response team. Since the end of March, ACDI team have been volunteering with other organisations such as East Ayrshire Council Vibrant Communities, Auchinleck Community Council and Centre-Stage to reach and support the most vulnerable in the community.

With over 100 food parcels delivered to date, both ACDI and Centre-Stage will continue to deliver these essential food supplies to those who need it. ACDI have also put in place a range of additional support services which have been accessed by dozens of local residents, unable to leave home.

Scotland is in lockdown, shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Cumnock Chronicle, and the vital local news service we’ve provided since 1901 is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Cumnock Chronicle  in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you’re shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks - and stay safe.
