Craigend Resource Centre in Greenock provides the local community and community groups with a wide range of resources, information and opportunities. We asked Project Co-ordinator Brian Power about his experience of going for the healthyliving award.

  • Q. What were your main reasons for applying for the healthyliving award?
  • A. To gain recognition for the health related work we do, and show that the voluntary sector can achieve this award. To lead by example and encourage other community based projects to participate in the award.
  • Q. What has achieving the award meant to your business?
  • A. The award is confirmation of the work done at the centre for the past 17 years. Achievement has supported potential funding applications and also assisted with on-going training and assessment for staff.
  • Q. Do you feel that going for the award has been worthwhile?
  • A. Yes. It shows the local community that we care about what we do and work to a high standard in providing a service for them.
