Golden Gates Housing Trust (GGHT) has announced the latest round of its community sponsorship fund this week.
The fund is now in its fourth year and is open to individuals, resident and community groups, charitable organisations and social enterprises in the areas where GGHT has homes.
GGHT has committed a further £15,000 to the fund over the next 12 months and welcomes bids of up to £500 to help pay towards events, activities, equipment, venue hire, training sessions among other things.
In 2013/14 GGHT awarded funding to 62 groups, supporting projects which have included arts, dance and drama groups, equipment for community facilities, safety projects, community fun days, sports clubs and activities for both older and young people. The Hand On Heart charity received £500 to part fund a defibrillator to be placed in a Warrington school, and was just one of the successful applicants.
