New Winners

We’ve just finished our recent round of ‘pitches’. A fantastic tour taking in Luton, Manchester and Shrewsbury and we met many inspiring and exciting projects.

We can now announce the winners at each Foundation Trust.

So a drum roll please…

Bedfordshire and Luton Partnership Trust

Bedford Bangladeshi Women’s Association. The association provides support for the Bangladeshi Women of Luton, for whom language barriers, low self-esteem and culture were an obstacle to them leaving their homes, the social opportunities afforded by this group were highly valued and have a positive impact on their mental health.

South Manchester University Hospital Trust

Wildcats in the Community. Wildcats run wrestling clubs, teaching young people in deprived areas of Manchester self control and commitment, they need more volunteers to cope with demand for the free sessions.

South Staffordshire and Shropshire Health Care

Autonomy. A support and advocacy group for young people with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome. Run by an enthusiastic mother and son team, the group provides many social opportunities and would like to extend their organisation provide volunteering opportunities for their users.

Congratulations to all three groups, they have won £2000 each to develop their work using volunteers.

They will also be posting tales of their journeys over the coming months on this blog and I’m very much looking forward to hearing how things are going.
