Support for KNEC Community Listening Project

Some while ago, our friends at East Calder and Kirknewton Church set up a Community Listening Project.

They are now delighted to find that they have been shortlisted for the member choice award for Scotmid funding - the only project chosen in West Lothian - and are looking for a bit of support.

This shortlisting means they receive £1,000 for their project.

HOWEVER, the project then goes out to member choice with the chance to win £5,000. There will be six charities competing for the additional funding.

if you are a member of Scotmid i.e. you shop at Scotmid and hold a membership card, you can vote on where you want the money to go. If If not, you can apply for membership (Costing £1) applying online at https://scotmid.coop/membership/     

Each transaction puts a vote in for the chosen project so we're encouraged to go to the tills more frequently with smaller lists than do one big shop. You need to use a manned till and tell the cashier who you're voting for - KNEC COMMUNITY LISTENING PROJECT (they will not automatically ask you when you present the membership card with payment for your shop.) 

When applying for a membership card, you should be emailed a registration number which you can quote to the cashier before you get the membership card. Voting closes on 31st July 2025
