A grand funding boost for Cramlington in the Community
A Northumberland charity that helps people improve their well-being and mental health through activity has secured useful funds from a national housebuilder.
Cramlington in the Community was awarded a £1,000 grant after successfully applying to the Miller Homes Community Fund, which supports projects that make a positive difference to communities across the UK.
The application was recognised by the community fund ambassadors for reflecting Miller Homes’ vision to create better places where people prosper and for its commitment to enhancing the local community.
Cramlington in the Community trustee Ian Coates said: “We’re incredibly grateful to receive this funding from the Miller Homes Community Fund.
“Without the support of companies like Miller Homes, charities such as ours would struggle to continue delivering the vital services our community relies upon.
“The grant will enable us to purchase new equipment and, most importantly, ensure that children and families most in need do not go without during the school holidays. It’s help like this that makes a real and lasting difference to the lives of local people.”
The Miller Homes Community Fund awards grants of between £250 to £2,000 – with a focus on initiatives that offer education, promote well-being, enhance the environment and encourage participation in sport and activities.
Lauren Angus, sales director at Miller Homes North East, said: “We’re delighted to support Cramlington in the Community through our Community Fund.
“The organisation is making a real difference locally and its commitment to supporting residents aligns perfectly with our aim of creating thriving communities.
“We look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will have.”
