PROJECTS in Kirklees will benefit from a community fund launched by Locala Community Partnerships.
Projects with a health, wellbeing, community or environmental focus could gain funding through the scheme. A maximum of £10,000 a year will be donated to successful applicants, with groups receiving grants of between £100 and £1,000.
The community fund allows Locala, a social enterprise providing NHS community health care in and around Kirklees, to support local initiatives, projects, groups and societies. This could be much needed equipment, training or maintenance work.
Robert Flack, chief executive, said: “Setting up the Community Fund supports Locala’s ethos as a social enterprise. We are here to support the community and our new fund allows us to be directly involved with projects supporting the health and wellbeing of people we serve.”
