Community Link Foundation

IN 2017, Community Link Foundation gave out grants in the local area totalling £54,000. And we are hoping that the year ahead is just as successful so we can continue to help people in the local community.

We have been able to help some really worthy causes recently and to be as successful as the last year, we need your help.

Examples of the grants we have been able to give include helping to fund an operation to give a young boy the chance to walk; purchasing a trike for a little girl to help her with mobility issues; buy some new goalposts for a popular football team, and give money towards marshals to enable a community event to go ahead.

We would now love to hear from people who can help us with fundraising in the year ahead.

The fundraising event can be anything from a sponsored silence to a skydive.

Over the last few years we have staged a wide range of events and activity to raise money for Community Link Foundation including running marathons, golf days, darts nights and a stall at a Christmas fair.

Enda Rylands, chairman of Community Link Foundation, said: “The more people that we have helping us to raise money, the more organisations and people we can help in the local community.

“We are very grateful for all the support that we get and we would love to hear from anyone who is interested in supporting CLF.”

On our website, www.clfoundation.co.uk, there is a link to a Virgin Money site.

Through that site, you can donate directly to Community Link Foundation but there are also lots of links to pages of information about how to fundraise and ideas of what sorts of things you can do.

Whatever you decide to plan, we would be there to support you every step of the way. We’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch through the website or on social media. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter.
