A CHARITY which supports some of the town’s most vulnerable residents has received a cash boost.
Enham Alamein ward member, Councillor Tracey Preston, resented a community grant of £2,000 money to staff from Yellow Brick Road during a visit to Finkley Down Farm.
The money will be used to fund the charity’s Growing Together project; an initiative that provides activities including dance fit, domestic abuse awareness, peer mentoring, childhood health and midwifery appointments to local residents.
Councillor Preston said: “The Growing Together project is a fantastic resource for vulnerable young parents and their children. I’m delighted to have joined the group on an outing to Finkley Down Farm where I can clearly see how valuable these activities are. I wish the charity continued success.”
