INVERCLYDE MSP Stuart McMillan has encouraged local organisations to cash in on a new £1m government fund to encourage people to spend locally.
Grants of between £500 and £5,000 will be given out as part of the Scotland Loves Local scheme.
The funding aims to support small-scale improvements that will help motivate people to shop, eat and relax within their community, whilst ensuring public health safety during the pandemic.
Mr McMillan said: “It’s now more important than ever to consider shopping locally and supporting the brilliant local businesses in Inverclyde.
"This new fund will be a real boost for communities across Inverclyde, so please apply before the closing date of November 25.”
