Five local organisations have been awarded over £5,000 by Crewe Town Council for local projects which will benefit Crewe residents.
At the latest Community Plan Committee meeting, Councillors approved awards which will help to fund:
- Support for siblings who are young carers (through the Central Cheshire Buddy Scheme)
- Support for homeless and vulnerable people (LATH)
- Raising awareness of a new location for children and young people’s mental health support in Crewe (Visyon)
- Equipment and supplies for local organisation Creative Crewe
- Music for a regional competition for Crewe Brass Band
The Mayor of Crewe, Cllr Dennis Straine-Francis, will be visiting the organisations over the next few months to find out more about what they do and see how the grants will be used in our community.
