Dalbeattie Allotments 10th birthday
01/05/2010 - 01/05/2020

Ten years ago, (1^st May 2010) after two years of planning, work began on the site that was to become Dalbeattie Community Allotments.

That first phase created 47 plots for people to work on and enjoy and later, in 2011, an extension was added to the site which provided a further 34 plots.

Over the past decade, numerous individuals and families have enjoyed the health and social benefits which are associated with exercise, fresh air, fresh produce and company which allotments are known to provide.

Those benefits are even more important today as we live through such challenging times.

So a very big ‘thank you’ to all those who helped provide such a fantastic amenity for the town and to those who continue to manage the site on behalf of its members and local residents.

Happy 10^thBirthday DCAA.

A notice from local charity

In light of the current situation regarding Covid-19 which we find ourselves dealing with, we as a charity, would like to reiterate that we are here to help all organisations with the discharge of patients from hospitals to free up beds should they be needed. We would reassure the public that our staff are taking every precaution regarding hygiene and cleanliness whilst carrying out their duties.

We are able to supply and fit keysafes (keysafes are chargeable, installation is free) as well as supply and fit grab rails (free of charge), banister rails (client covers cost of materials) within a client’s home. We will also move furniture around the home to accommodate hospital beds or moving a bed from upstairs to downstairs to aid mobility.

Finding help during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway (TSDG) has created a new website to give the public easy access to what help is available from local organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The map-based site allows residents to search for groups that are offering support in their area as well as allowing organisations to make appeals for support and resources. .

The map can zoom into an area, town or village with a pin for each organisation giving contact details and a brief description of what is available or required.
