Chris, this week, has committed his support for the much-anticipated Pump Track project in Killin. Stating “Good community facilities can boost tourism in rural villages, adding to the economy, as well as promoting activity for young people in the area. I am aware of the demand for greater recreational facilities and cycling provision in Killin, and I am glad that it is getting off the ground.”
Killin Sports and Recreation Hub, established in 2022, are working alongside the Killin and Ardeonaig Community Development Trust (KAT) and Killin Community Council (KCC) to raise funds in order to complete the project.
The Hub was set up with the aims of regenerating sports and recreation infrastructure and social inclusion within the Killin area. The hub recently received a vote of congratulations from Stirling council for its work regenerating Killin’s tennis courts/MUGA pitch and marking 70km of local trails.
Now it has its sights set on creating a Pump Track for the local area, which will provide a vital recreational space for their youth and serve as a boost to local tourism, with the nearest equivalent facilities currently over 40 miles away, with no Public Transport links.
Thanks to incredible community efforts, they have successfully raised £93,000 to date, with nearly £10,000 being raised locally. However, for them to finish this project, they still require £57,000 in additional funds.
Chris has commended the work of the sports hub, development trust and the community council for their work to get this project off the ground. He added,“I am committed to promoting the fundraising efforts of the project and supporting them as much as I can in my capacity”
They are currently putting applications into the Community Spaces Improvement Grant and the FVL CLLD funding programme, however, they are encouraging individual donations as well.
If you would like to donate to the project, you can visit their Just Giving page here. If you would like to find out more about the project, contact Killin Sports and Recreation Hub at [email protected] or call 07909807271
