Congratulations to the charity and community projects that have been awarded a share of our Strong Foundations Grant in Manchester.
This is just one of 12 funds we have available across the UK this year. Other locations include: Cambridge, Oxford, London, Hemel Hempstead, Edinburgh, Kettering, Birmingham, Knutsford, Bristol, Nottingham and Sunderland.
Following a six week application window, the shortlisted submissions were judged by a panel of colleagues from projects and offices across our Northern region. We are pleased to announce we will be supporting the following:
Mahdlo Youth Zone is the largest provider of youth work in Oldham, delivering both universal and targeted services that support young people to learn, experiment and develop new interests. Funding will pay for two sports workers to facilitate a programme for young people aged 13-18. It’s going to be a busy summer for our Co-op Academy Belle Vue team in Manchester as they accelerate towards early completion of a new school that will also become a fantastic new hub for the wider community.
Our A19 project team in the North East have delivered significant biodiversity enhancements of nationally important habitats.
Our Special Projects team recently achieved PC on the Remember Me: Covid-19 Memorial at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, which is now open to the public.
