DRG has been active in the Douglas area since 2012, initially as an unincorporated body and as a SCIO since 2017. The group has conducted path improvements, organised village clean-ups, and provided and maintained flowers and plants throughout the village. We also supply hanging baskets annually on Main Street and Ayr Road in Douglas. In an innovative fund-raising event DRG organised ‘Gig in the Grounds’ starting as a one-day event, becoming two days and then since 2019 it became three days due to the popularity of it and more bands wanting to play. It is a music and history festival, family fun day attended by many from the local community and further afield. In 2023 we took ownership of Douglasdale Community Woodland through an asset transfer from South Lanarkshire Council. The purchase of Douglasdale Community Woodland has improved this large piece of biodiverse infrastructure for all the local communities and has created new employment opportunites with more planned.
