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.
