Sam Beattie, Customer Voice Officer at Progress Housing Group, said: “We love supporting local community projects and our Soup Dragon’s Den allows groups to apply for funding from our Community Investment Fund.
“The event is aimed at community groups in areas where we have properties, who need a small amount of funding to help them get going, or to grow their project.
“Local residents and supporters of the projects are invited to attend the pitches and vote for their favourite one. We also serve soup and crumble, which always goes down a treat.
