TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORTS LOCAL CHARITIES
Newbury Town Council has awarded a total of £13,395 to 19 local charities to support them in their work for the community in Newbury.
The projects to benefit include Newbury Pride, The Community Youth Project, Readibus, Parkinsons UK, Newbury and The Friends of Young Carers (West Berkshire). All the projects are registered on The Good Exchange, where the Council’s contribution will be match funded and the full list of grants awarded is shown below.
Cllr. Gary Norman, Chairman of the Council’s Grants Subcommittee said, “The Council is very pleased to support all of these projects, which all benefit our community. Many of the charities are working to help the more vulnerable and at-risk people who are facing even more serious challenges because of the Coronavirus pandemic. We have awarded these grants in line with our Council’s Strategic objectives to support youth, the elderly, the vulnerable and the diverse communities in Newbury.
We still have £11,105 in grant funds remaining, which will be distributed at our next Grants Subcommittee meeting in November. Any projects benefitting the residents of Newbury, and which are registered on The Good Exchange between now and the closing date in November will be considered for Grant Aid. We would also like to acknowledge the great work of the Good Exchange which provides the funding and fundraising platform and Greenham Trust which provides match funding for all of these grants.”
