Community Link Foundation

- BY NICOLA KENYON visiternew­s@southportv­isiter.co.uk

DO you know of any community groups or individual­s who could do with a financial boost towards something that would make a difference to their lives?

Community Link Foundation may be able to give them a helping hand.

We are a charity with a difference as we raise funds that we then distribute to organisati­ons and people across our community.

We would love to hear from people and community groups who are looking for funding.

We have helped many community organisati­ons across Southport, Formby, Ormskirk and surroundin­g areas and the grants we’ve given have been used for a wide range of reasons, but all have benefited people’s quality of life.

This year we have donated money to buy an electric bike for a teenage boy to help him get out and about with his family, and we’ve given money towards the purchase of a special vest to help a little girl who suffers from cystic fibrosis.

We have also sponsored a music festival for people from across the North West living with a disability and we have a grant towards a family fun day in Ormskirk to ensure that it was free to attend for people in the community.

These are just a couple of examples of recent grants which the organisati­on has given out and we would now like to hear from others who we may be able to help.

All the criteria that applicants must meet to be considered for a grant is available on our website. It is also possible to apply for a grant on the site.

Due to the huge support from people holding events for us we have been able to give out thousands of pounds in grants.

We would love to hear from you, if you would like to help us with fundraisin­g and we can offer support with ideas or putting on an event.

For more informatio­n and details of how to apply for a grant, go to our website www.clfoundati­on.co.uk or look us up on Facebook.
