Builder helps with funding for festival

-

A CHARITY that provides inspiring multi-arts experience­s for people in the Midlands and beyond has received a major cash boost from one of the UK’S largest housebuild­ers.

Persimmon Homes West Midlands has awarded Lichfield Festival a £1,000 grant as it continues to support local groups and charities in the area.

Persimmon donates up to £64,000 a month to fund initiative­s as part of the highly successful Community Champions scheme.

The charity inspires creativity through performanc­e and participat­ion, with diverse events ranging from dance to drama, classical music to comedy and folk to family workshops. Alongside ticketed events, it also runs a full programme of free events and Aspire! – a year-round learning and participat­ion programme.
