LIFT D&G

LIFT D&G LIFT D&G = People that live in or associated with Lochside. We as a group want to bring the people of Lochside together and be a community again.

People that actually care what's happens in the area and want to improve it for all generations.



was created in December 2016 when Angela got together with her friends in a bid to better Lochside and make it a happy and bright place for kids to grow up in, Together with Claire, Carrie, Agnes, Ann and Debbie and now we have Cara and F

elix, (We also have Michelle and Stacey and Jim)... They have formed a strong group and are tackling all different kinds of issues that arise in their area. With the help of all the public and residents of Lochside the transformation is beginning to take place.

is Lochside is Families together. We will be part of the Big Burns Supper for December and January But we hope to make this a continuing thing. From fun days to Learning about Yester year in Lochside. We have things going on for the young and old but we can only do that if the great folk of the North west of Dumfries come and help us out!!! We will keep you all informed by Facebook or flyers in your letterbox. Christmas Parties, Easter Parties, Summer fun days no kid needs to do without or miss out, It will all be on at your Local community centre or in the big field. We also hope to get the local schools involved as well........

We have teamed up with Big burns supper, Our place, The Stove, also on board and needs a special mention is woodgrove community transport, They will also be working alongside us in the future to give you "Little Lifts"
More to come on that later.

Yesterday there was an accident, we closed the shops and an hour later a car drove into our back wall. Thankfully no one was hurt. But this does mean we will be closed this week as there is extensive damage to the building structure. Next week we will be open in shop 2 (household) and hopefully we will be able to get opened fully soon.

With that being said we are still taking donations from next week and if any one has clothes donations especially we would appreciate them.

Let’s see the Unity in our Community and do what we do best

We love what our volunteers do and how much time they give to make their community a great place to stay.
It is national volunteer week but we think every week should be dedicated to them as much as these guys are with us.

National volunteer week.
Here is 2 of our volunteers for the Cabin/Garden space.
They have been with us for a year and faithfully came every week to make sure our NANA Garden is maintained to high standard, they show members of the public around the garden and help sow and reap the veg and herbs then help distribute out. We are very honoured to have such a dedicated team. Laura Knight Neil Pickthall thank you for all you do.

We are missing Sue from this photo but she is also one of the team. Her photo will follow.
