Funding News 2 - Magic Little Grant

24/8/2022

 
As you are all aware we use the Localgiving website for online donations. We are delighted to announce that in addition to the generous public and members' donations received that way, we have also been awarded a “Magic Little Grant” of £500 which we have used on workshop equipment and materials.
Picture
Having the right tools and materials is essential from a safety point of view. It also increases the job satisfaction of our volunteers and, hence, their mental wellbeing. Anything we can do to make the job better, safer and quicker, has to be worthwhile and receiving a grant for this specific purpose is a great boost.

​The “Magic Little Grants” programme is supported by the People’s Postcode Lottery and administered through Localgiving.
