Developer gives grants of £280k to help the residents of Deptford
A string of projects have been given big grants by a developer.
Deptford Challenge Trust (DCT) has awarded grants of more than £280,000 to organisations in Deptford, to support a variety of schemes.
The cash will be spent on education and skills, social inclusion, health and well-being and the opportunity to connect community organisations into their neighbourhoods.
A total of 18 recipients received funding, including Evelyn Parents Forum, Bench Outreach and Creekside Education Trust.
A full list of those who were awarded a grant can be found on the DCT website here.
Des Malone, chairman of the Deptford Challenge Trust said: “It is inspiring to learn about the initiative and determination of local organisations who strive to make Deptford a better place for all, and in particular the marginalised.
“We know the money will, as usual, be put to excellent use.”
Everyone at the South London Press thanks you for your continued support.
Former Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick has encouraged everyone in the country who can afford to do so to buy a newspaper, and told the Downing Street press briefing:
“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
