Culture Wood CIC (pictured) received a grant of £2000 to enable them to run a series of nature based activities in Norton Common. The activities run for 2 hours each month and help connect people with nature, build networks and support general health and wellbeing.
£5,660 was granted North Hertfordshire African Caribbean Community to work with the Caribbean Harmony Group to build on the outcomes of the 'Forging a Family Project'. The project will be using textiles as a medium to capture social history through members stories and develop a piece of co-created clothing that will form part of an exhibition and reflection on the project later in the year.
We were pleased to grant £2000 to the Royal British Legion to enable them to purchase resources such as bunting that will enable Armed Forces Day to become more sustainable in the future. The group have volunteers lined up to deliver free arts and crafts sessions and the grant will also fund the arts and crafts resources.
The grants committee meets bi-monthly, and the next deadline for applications for grants is Monday 28th April. If you know of any community organisations which would benefit from a grant, please direct them to Letchworth.com/grants
