Recipients of the Open Fund (for local organisations) and the Inside Out Fund (for organisations staff members are involved in) were both celebrated at a presentation evening on 10 July.
Each organisation is doing important work in Charnwood – from supplying towels and toiletries for those going into temporary housing, to giving books to schools and upgrading sports clubs to provide wheelchair access.
Stakeholder Relations Manager, Alison Barlow said: “The University is proud to be able to support charities and voluntary organisations in the local area through the Community Donations Fund. The range of projects and activities we were able to give small pots of money to this year was extremely wide-ranging and it was great to meet many of the representatives at our event on Monday. We wish them all every success with the work that they do.”
