Friday 19^(th) May 2017.

 

The selection panel will include CALA staff drawn from various areas of the business,
including surveying, architecture, planning and customer service.

 

Derek Lawson, strategic land director with CALA Homes, said:

 

> “Hard-working groups are doing brilliant and vital work all across East Lothian,
> including local charities, children’s causes, educational and community organisations.
> They make a real difference to their communities.
> “They operate on very tight budgets and every day is a struggle when it comes 
> to eking out the funds that keep them functioning. So, any sort of financial help
> or support can make a huge difference and they make such money go an incredibly
> long way.
> “We hope that our scheme can reach as many deserving groups as possible and make
> a real difference to some of these excellent causes.”
