Community groups are fund winners Nineteen community groups are celebrating after securing funding for inclusive sports training, music making and counselling projects in the latest round of the Aspers Good Causes Fund. The Mayor, Councillor Clark and Richard Smith present Pat Miller and Abi Pedro with the cheque
The fund was set up in 2012 by Aspers Casino and Newham Council to support community projects based in the borough which aim to help local residents build their confidence and skills. Arts, dance, music, sport and charity organisations can bid for a slice of a £100,000 pot if they provide schemes which are inclusive for all. This year’s grants have been awarded to 19 organisations for projects including outreach activities for isolated residents, music workshops for people living with dementia, sports clubs for young people and performing arts sessions for women living with learning disabilities.
“Aspers Good Causes Fund makes a big difference to the lives of our residents, funding projects designed to boost their confidence and skills”
