Figures released by The Cumberland Building Society, which is behind the initiative, show that more than 200 hours were donated to MOOL (The Massive Outpouring of Love) project, the Queen of the South Trust, Kate’s Kitchen, The Bridge, Sustain Scotland and Mossburn Community Farm from the summer event.
