A DORSET community organisation is among 18 to share £643,000 in National Lottery funding.
The aim of the funding is to help organisations to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dorset Reclaim, a furniture recycling charity, has been awarded £46,500.
The funding has been awarded through the Covid-19 Community-Led Organisations Recovery Scheme (CCLORS). The programme is led by independent trust Power to Change in partnership with Locality, The Ubele Initiative and Social Investment Business, and is part of The National Lottery Community Fund’s Coronavirus Community Support Fund, that launched in May this year.
Grants of up to £100,000, totalling £9.5million have been awarded to community-led organisations across England that are facing severe financial difficulties as a direct result of the coronavirus lockdown. It is helping them to launch health and wellbeing projects, develop digital education workshops and continue providing vital services for their communities.
