We were delighted to award £22,569 of funding to support 25 grassroots community groups based across the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester.
Auto Trader and Forever Manchester recognise that great things happen in and around Greater Manchester on a daily basis and we want to shout about it!
The idea behind the Auto Trader Community Fund is to provide a positive, friendly and accessible approach to gaining much needed financial support for grassroots community organisations. This means small, community-based and locally controlled groups that manage themselves, encourage people to get involved as volunteers and who just need a bit of financial help to be able to work with their community in the way they’d like.
In this last round of the Auto Trader Community Fund, (application deadline 6th May 2022), awards of up to £1,000 were available.
The groups we were delighted to support include:
- 1st Gatley Rainbows and Brownies – Stockport
- Art Stop CIC – Marple
- Believe Achieve CIC – South East Bolton (pictured)
- Black Gold Arts -Moss Side, Manchester
- Bolton Deaf Social Club
