Thank you #Helmsdale & District #DevelopmentTrust for showing us amazing achievements: a Multi-Use Game Area, public toilets, all to the benefit of the community.

Good to visit @llccdc1 last week at their office by the sea. The Trust puts on a number of classes for the community - we discussed the future & current challenges such as asset closures.
Thanks Alex for having us!
