Celebrating National Lottery Funding

We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we have been awarded £305,496 funding from the National Lottery Community Fund which will enable us to continue to deliver GetInvolvedCoventry for the next three years. Through this grant we will be able to ensure that people in Coventry can get support to engage in community activities – it might be giving their time through volunteering or contributing their skills through community action. We know there is huge demand in Coventry for volunteers - we know how much voluntary, community and social enterprises rely on the contribution of volunteers to run their organisations and deliver essential services to those in need. We also know that are many individuals who have time and skills to give but face barriers (real or perceived) which are preventing them from fulfilling their potential GetInvolvedCoventry unites our projects Improving Lives and Chat Central with our volunteering brokerage service ensuring that anyone who comes to us will get the right support to enable them to flourish and contribute to community activity, volunteering or employment. A huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and National Lottery players for making this grant possible!
