I would like to extend my personal congratulations to four fantastic community organisations who secured over £200,000 of grant funding from the Government's Cost of Living Fund.
This £76 million fund is part of the £101.5 million package of support for charities and community organisations across England announced by the Chancellor in the Spring Budget. CCLF provides grants to charities and community organisations delivering critical frontline services, and which are most impacted by increased demand and increased delivery costs.
The successful applicants included:
SPID Theatre Company
SPID specialises in high quality community youth theatre on council estates providing underprivileged children with opportunities to participate in drama and the arts.
Youth Action Alliance
Youth Action Alliance supports the personal and social development of the young people living in Kensington & Chelsea, enabling them to increase their resilience and skills in the present, and promote their ambitions for the future.
The Dalgarno Trust
The Dalgarno Trust is a community centre for people in North Kensington. They provide a safe, happy place for everyone in our local community, and run projects and services promoting health, wellbeing and inclusion for all ages.
The Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre
