The Virgin Money Foundation has relaunched a fund to support organisations that form the bedrock of communities across the North East.
Referred to by the Foundation as Community Anchors, these organisations provide local people with support, services, activities, and volunteering opportunities. They work with people of all ages, genders and ethnicities to design work that meets the needs of the community at large.
The Community Anchors’ Fund will award grants to Community Anchors to support them to become strong and resilient hubs that enable the community to come together and thrive.
The Foundation is particularly interested in supporting community anchors run by and for members of communities subject to racial inequality.
