University funding helps staff involved in community groups
Loughborough University has supported ten local community groups in its latest round of community donations.
Donations were made from the Inside Out Fund, which is dedicated to helping members of staff who are involved in community or voluntary groups outside of work.
More than £4000 was awarded as part of the Inside Out Fund. By the end of the year, the University will have donated £200,000 to help and support local groups.
