Supporting Our Community in Lochside
30 March 2025
Our team was delighted to take part in a Volunteer Action Day in Lochside, Dumfries, working alongside the Wheatley Homes South’s Neighbourhood Environmental Team and fellow volunteers—come sunshine, rain, and even hail!
As a locally based architectural practice, we were proud to support the fantastic work of Lift D&G at their creative community base, The Cabin. Our team rolled up their sleeves to assist with landscaping maintenance, build new raised planters, and bring some colour to the space by planting flowers.
We were especially interesting to learn more about their exciting future plans for the N.A.N.A (Nature and Nurture Area) community garden and park—an initiative that truly promotes sustainable, people-centred creative placemaking.
A big thank you to all involved for their energy and enthusiasm as part of this Volunteering Week of Action and our Community Benefits programme.
So happy tonight, thank you so much for coming along. What a difference to our space. We will welcome you back once we have planted our community garden.” Angela Gilmour, Director, LIFT D&G
