Successful groups include a creative arts, sports, and life skills programme, an over 50s club, a dementia support group and a pre-school.
Anna Evans-Kerr, sales director at Redrow NW, said: “We had a great response to our Halewood Fund with 33 applications and a good mix of applications from worthy causes in the local area. With just £10,000 to share the panel had tough decisions to make but we tried to share the funding so that a diverse range of projects would benefit.
“For example, we’ll be helping provide food for those in need; helping youth football, boxing and golf clubs, support physical, social, and emotional development of children aged 5-16, a community choir and a series of deep listening workshops to support women’s emotional, mental and physical health and wellbeing.”
Beneficiaries of the new fund include:
- Apollo Ajax Under 12's Junior football Team
- Childwall Golf Club (Junior Section)
- Explore Partnership CIC
- Halewood Over 50s Club
- Torrington Drive Community Association (TDCA)
- Knowsley dementia care support memory lane
- Derby Court (Plus Dane)
- Hollies Road Preschool
- Halewood Park Volunteers
- Gemini Boxing
- Natural Pause
Tony Day, chairperson of the Halewood Park Volunteer group, said: “Redrow’s support of our Halewood Orchard and Meadowland Environment (HOME) Programme is a huge boost and we can now start work to increase the biodiversity and habitat environment with a habitat board and bee posts amongst other things.”
