Recipients of the Open Fund (for local organisations) and the Inside Out Fund (for organisations staff members are involved in) were both celebrated at a presentation evening on 8 June.
Each organisation spoke about the important work they are doing in Charnwood – from upcycling furniture and providing books to schools, to teaching people how to make low-cost meals and expanding a Pay As You Feel café.
Chair of the Community Donations committee, Professor Steve Rothberg said: “It was a real pleasure to meet people from the organisations we supported and I’m proud that the University is playing this important part in our local community.”
