Groups across Bristol could land up to £2,500 to help them boost their communities, thanks to a new fund set up to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards.
Grants of £2,500, £1,000 and £500 are all available as part of the Pride of Britain Fund’s £100,000 giveaway for good causes, and you can nominate the people or groups who you think should receive it.
It could be something like the heroes at the Bristol City Frame Football Club, which is strives to make a positive difference for all through sport and learning. They aim to do this by providing fun, safe and enjoyable activities whilst making sure that quality counts in the services they provide.
A spokesperson said: “We are passionate about providing opportunities for everyone to access and get involved in the work that we do.
“This session is for children who have Cerebral Palsy (CP) and/or use a frame to walk. They are football-based sessions, working and developing on different football and social skills and we play matches as well. The club believes in inclusivity in which everyone deserves the chance to be involved in Football.”
The £100,000 giveaway is part of celebrations to mark the 25th anniversary of the Daily Mirror Pride of
Britain Awards, which are screened on ITV1 later in the autumn.
The fund, a charity that aims to spread the Pride of Britain spirit, was set up to help charities and community organisations across the UK.
It has already given grants to more than 100 groups across the nation.
The Pride of Britain team will create a shortlist, but the final decision will rest with local communities all over the country, so you will be able to vote on who gets the funding in your area.
