Central Co-op has revealed that its Community Dividend Fund has awarded another £43,230 to 31 charities and good causes, supporting communities with access to food, health and wellbeing, inclusion and the environment.
As part of the Fund, Central Co-op Members can apply for between £100 to £5,000 to support all manner of projects. All details on the Community Dividend Fund can be found on the Central Co-op site.
One cause supported this time around is Right Resolution CIC, a youth work project helping young people on their journeys into education, employment and training.
“Through this project we support young people who are Care Leavers to access practical support and participate in positive activities. We also support those young people who now have children of their own too,” commented Peterborough Project Manager Cherry Lester.
“The cost of living crisis has had a major impact on young people’s lives. This grant will enable us to deliver groceries and toiletries, along with much needed purchases, such as coats, underwear, towels and bedding to those most in need.”
