Role to take hub forward

Plans for a new community hub at the Dalkeith Miners Welfare Club are a step closer with the appointment of a dedicated development worker.

Funded by Midlothian Council, Lorraine Donaldson’s role is to help the club develop community activities and obtain funds from bodies such at the National Lottery.

Her appointment is the start of a process which could lead to a new building being constructed within the grounds of the miners’ welfare.
