Central Co-op has revealed that its Community Dividend Fund has awarded £27,750 to 32 charities and good causes, supporting communities with access to food, health and wellbeing, inclusion and the environment.
As part of the Fund, groups can apply for between £100 to £5,000 every two months to support all manner of projects. All details on the Community Dividend Fund can be found on the Central Co-op site.
Included among the recipients is Beyond the Horizon in Billesley, providing play therapy and counselling to young people who have experienced domestic abuse, bereavement, and family separation. Along with therapists, this fund is supporting creative resources for young people, clinical supervision costs, and travel costs of the therapist travelling to different areas.
“This festive season has seen so many incredible causes apply for the Community Dividend Fund,” commented our Society Secretary, Andy Seddon. “The fund benefits communities across our operating area, and as we head into 2023 we will continue our support for meaningful causes. Winter has been a tough time for many, and we’re honoured to be able to make a difference in our communities.”
