Almost 20 local organisations have received a boost from the latest round of Carnoustie Golf Links community benefit funding.

Links House hosted the latest handover of cheques in a scheme which has been running since 2015.

It has seen around £250,000 distributed locally by the links management committee since it was granted charitable status.

And the latest funding round of £42,767 continued to demonstrate the wide range of good causes the fund supports.

Community benefits committee convener David Cheape led the presentations.

Donations ranged from £350 up to £5,000.

Carnoustie Ladies Golf Club got funds to help with the publication of a 150th anniversary book in 2023 for what is the world’s oldest ladies’ golf club.

East Haven Together received cash to help refurbish the community-run public toilets and install a disabled access ramp.

New instruments are on the list for Arbroath and Carnoustie Band which has enjoyed a resurgence after fears it might fold.

And the links fund benefit will be felt beyond the town.

Carnoustie Boys’ Brigade are to use their cheque as a contribution towards the refurbishment of the Scott Lodge outdoor centre in the Angus glens.
