STAFF at CalMac are celebrating after the ferry operator won an award for its community work.
It has become the first Scottish company to be awarded a Level 2 Social Value Quality Mark for its commitment to generating social value for its local communities through initiatives such as the CalMac Community Fund.
Recent research has forecast that for every pound spent by CalMac, communities across the network benefit from a social return of £5.14. Last year, the CalMac Community Fund supported 76 different projects that benefited the lives of children and young people living in west coast communities. It is expected to deliver £676,391 of value over three years.

At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.
