What We’ve Done
From young people to entrepreneurs, we invested in our people through the Ideas Club, breakfast programmes, after-school activities, and scholarships, to entrepreneurs empowered through Project Dawn, local markets, and business showcases. Sports, culture, and community spirit flourished with refurbished pavilions, revived clubs, new youth football clubs and tournaments, and events like the Tweedside Road Street Fair that strengthened pride and belonging across the constituency.
