The Saving Grace Collective has been awarded a £2000 grant made possible thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
The Grassroots Grants programme, which is a partnership between People’s Postcode Lottery and Groundwork, has helped 400 small, local organisations in England through unrestricted funding that supports the important work organisations deliver in their communities. The funding offered is unrestricted and therefore flexible. It can be used where it is most needed.
The grant programme is made possible thanks to funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and is awarded through Postcode Local Trust, Postcode Places Trust, Postcode Neighbourhood Trust and Postcode Society Trust.
“We are incredibly grateful to People’s Postcode Lottery and Groundwork for this £2,000 Grassroots Grant, awarded through the Postcode Neighbourhood Trust. As an artist-led social enterprise, this funding is a vital lifeline that allows us to stabilize our creative hub in Huddersfield and continue bridging the gap between artistic aspiration and professional reality for our community. By helping us secure safe spaces & investing in equipment, we can elevate the creative output and employability of marginalized artists and young creatives we support each year.”
Laura Chow, Head of Charities at People’s Postcode Lottery, said: “We are delighted that players of People’s Postcode Lottery will support small community-based organisations through this funding opportunity, thanks to our partnership with Groundwork UK. I encourage smaller, local charities and groups to visit our trust websites for more details.”
The People’s Postcode Lottery Grassroots Grants Fund is administered by the national community charity, Groundwork.
Graham Duxbury, Groundwork’s UK Chief Executive, said: “The value of locally led action is second to none when it comes to making lasting positive change in the communities which need it most. Unrestricted funding for small organisations with expert local knowledge and lived experience is a key component to ensuring communities can take control of their own destinies, and we’re pleased to be working with the Community Programmes team at People’s Postcode Lottery to provide this.”
