A POPULAR Kilmarnock organisation received nationwide recognition after it was invited to 10 Downing Street.

Take A Bow, which offers performing arts classes to young people across Kilmarnock and nearby areas, attended a UK Government reception at Downing Street.

The organisation, founded by Martyn Hay and Natalie Boyce in 2012, was recognised for its creative work in the community.

Mr Hay attended the event and later toured the Westminster estate, including the House of Lords and committee rooms.

He was personally hosted by Kilmarnock MP Lillian Jones.

Just a few months ago, the Take A Bow Development Trust celebrated the completion of their £2.7m acquisition and re-development for the former New Farm Loch Community Centre in Kilmarnock.
