A Helping Hand from P&DSC Decorators Ltd

At National Mining Museum Scotland, we are fortunate to receive support from individuals and businesses who share our commitment to preserving Scotland’s rich mining heritage. We are delighted to thank Gary Irvine, Scott Purves and the team at P&DSC Decorators Ltd for their generous donation of paint.

As a charity, support like this plays an important role in helping us care for our historic site. Maintaining a former colliery is no small task and every contribution helps us ensure that the museum remains a welcoming place for visitors, volunteers, school groups and community organisations.

The donation from P&DSC Decorators Ltd will be put to good use across the museum, supporting ongoing maintenance and improvement projects that help keep our buildings and spaces looking their best. While visitors may not always notice the work that goes on behind the scenes, these efforts are essential in preserving the site and ensuring everyone enjoys a positive experience during their visit.

We are incredibly grateful to Gary and Scott for their generosity and community spirit. Their support demonstrates the difference local businesses can make when they choose to invest in the communities and heritage organisations around them.

Thank you to P&DSC Decorators Ltd for helping us continue to care for this important part of Scotland’s history.

Gary Irvine, P&DSC Decorators Ltd, said: “Growing up in Newtongrange, the Lady Victoria Colliery and the museum have always been an important part of our community. Now, as I’m raising my own family here, I appreciate even more the role National Mining Museum Scotland plays in preserving our local heritage and sharing those stories with future generations. We’re delighted to support the museum and contribute in a small way to protecting a place that means so much to so many people.”
