Our community is full of fantastic organisations and individuals, and we want to shout about them!

Building on our previous Grants Presentation Evening format, we organise a presentation evening to celebrate the amazing organisations that have been awarded grants during the financial year, the inspirational individuals that go above and beyond to support our community, and the announcement of our Poetry Competition winners.

You can find out more about these individual projects and programmes below:
