North Awards Grants to Local Community and Voluntary Groups
North has made its second round of grants to local community and voluntary groups totalling £18,000 from the North 150 Fund at the Community Foundation.
Seven groups benefitted from the grants with the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade (TVLB) being awarded a larger sum of £10,000 towards the refurbishment of its kitchen. Mike Asherson, Catherine Doyle and Kim Heaselden visited Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade and another grant recipient, Newcastle Women’s Aid, to see for themselves the impact of the grants.
