## Resource

When vandals sprayed purple paint on a memorial bench honoring Lorraine Currie and set fire to nearby bins and a utility cabinet, Lochend Football Academy didn’t just react—they rallied. Under-16s coach Mirek Bacowicz took immediate action, cleaning up the mess while club chair Ian Fergus called it a shocking, immature act in a community untouched by vandalism in 17 years. This grassroots football club, known for its youth teams and national cup runs, relies on volunteers like Mirek to keep their beloved park pristine. Their swift response even prompted city graffiti crews to arrive—proof that when communities lead, others follow.
