“When speaking with groups across the County, many we come across mention the need for support with revenue and running costs. With our donor for this Scheme seeing this same need, this Programme presents an amazing opportunity for organisations making a real difference in the lives of some of Greater Lincolnshire’s most vulnerable residents to benefit from help to run their services or activities.”
Cavan and Hayley are excited that the Foundation has again been trusted to distribute substantial funding as part of the GRASSroots Scheme. The impact felt through previous iterations of the GRASSroots Programme has been immense and we look forward to working with East Lindsey District Council and grassroots level organisations in East Lindsey through the East Lindsey Investment Fund GRASSroots Scheme to support community-led initiatives which will propel East Lindsey forward in line with the priorities of the East Lindsey Investment Fund.
