Right now, across Greater Manchester, thousands of local grassroots projects, each unique in purpose, scope and passion are making a difference in their communities, and it’s thanks to your unwavering support that we’re able to keep backing them. From March to date, we’ve awarded an unbelievable to £517,968 to over 100 local community groups. With each project supporting around 67 people on average, our funding has directly impacted the lives of around 6842 people. We’ve funded all sorts of community activity across the past three months, from a women’s barbershop harmony group bringing people together through their music and putting smiles on faces, to a team of older men who meet each week to service and repair old, donated bikes and redistribute them to people in need. No matter the size or focus, each project plays a crucial role in creating stronger, healthier and happier communities across Greater Manchester, and none of it would be possible without you. Thanks for helping us continue to make this happen.
