Gillian Graham, children, young people, and family worker at Dalmuir Barclay Church, said: "We are delighted with the support from Miller Homes.
"The children and young people in Clydebank really enjoy our Mini Youth Group and Cosy Café, and we’re excited to be able to bring out new workshops.
"Our church is a great place for every member of the local community, and these free clubs allow children from all over Clydebank to come together, learn something new, and make friends."
The £1,500 donation will fund a variety of activities at the church, including arts and crafts, wellbeing sessions, and environmental education, as well as the purchase of brand new sports equipment.
This grant is part of a wider £10000 pledge from Miller Homes to support nine community groups located near its housing developments throughout Scotland.
Now in its third year, the Miller Homes Community Fund invites applications from charities and grassroots organisations across the UK.
Since 2022, the fund has supported 389 projects through a total of £284,100 in funding.
