Since its inception the Lewes Fund has given grants totalling over £100,000 to more than 40 community groups in Lewes and the surrounding parishes.
“Tonight we are celebrating the contribution these groups and their volunteers make in helping their communities to be more resilient – in particular helping meet the needs of the young, the old, and the disadvantaged in Lewes and surrounding parishes.”
Recipients of Grant Certificates handed out by the Mayor during the evening included: Culture Shift, Homelink, 6th Lewes Scouts, Lewes House Gardening group, Moving Sounds, the Men’s Shed, the Local Repair Cafe and Patina, Moving on Parade.
The Lewes Fund was established in 2012 to help facilitate charitable giving, and to act as a fund raiser for local groups. It is supported by Sussex Community Foundation.
