At the most recent meeting, members approved applications from organisations that come together to create, sustainable, connected communities and to help people live the healthiest and safest lives possible.
Manorway and Area Neighbourhood Watch, in Rutherglen received £300 for equipment, while Cambuslang and District Voluntary Care Club was granted £350 for entrance fees.
