to support local families

16 Community News Talbot Village Trust helps charity to support local families Talbot Village Trust has donated £1,346 to local charity Dorset Parent Infant Partnership (DorPIP) to allow them to invest in a portable and reusable promotional toolkit. DorPIP provides specialist therapy for families in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole areas to help improve parenting skills through parent-infant psychotherapy, attachment-led infant massage courses and facilitated peer support groups. Using the grant from Talbot Village Trust, the local charity was able to purchase a new promotional tool kit to use during fundraising and public awareness events. The kit included new branded t-shirts, banners, bunting fl ags and balloons and are a valuable addition to the promotion of DorPIP. As a result, the charity has been able to engage with fi ve times as many families they had originally hoped for. Vivian Allen, Founder of DorPIP, said: ‘’Talbot Village Trust generously supported us with funding for marketing materials which enabled us to raise awareness of our fl edgling service to families and stakeholders. We have been absolutely thrilled by the support we received and are able to successfully engage an increasing number of families in our community. Thank you so much to the Trustees of Talbot Village Trust for the great part they played.’’ Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee at Talbot Village Trust, commented: “DorPIP has been working hard to help families in our community and are having a valuable impact on those that sign-up. We are very pleased to have contributed to building their awareness across Dorset. We look forward to seeing how much change and positive impact they will have on the area.” Talbot Village Trust meets biannually and is accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in spring 2020.
