Recipients of the Open Fund and Inside Out Fund are undertaking a variety of projects within the local area. A range of groups are benefitted because of the work done by these organisations, including sports clubs, scout groups, and schools in and around Loughborough.
Loughborough University’s Community Manager, Jenny Ardley said: “We are delighted to support local charities and voluntary organisations through the Community Donations Fund. This year's recipients represent a diverse array of projects, each making a meaningful impact in our community. It was a pleasure to connect with many of the representatives at our recent event, and we extend our best wishes for their continued success in their important work.”
