Jessica Morden Jessica Morden - Labour MP for Newport East, PPS to Keir Starmer and Shadow Minister for Wales
On August 8th, , with People’s Postcode Lottery, I’ll be hosting an online funding event for local charities, volunteer organisations, and community groups in the area. The session will give good causes in Newport East advice on how they can apply for funds to make a difference in their community.
The live Zoom event takes place on 8th of August at 10am.
Communities in postcodes across Britain are winning thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery. In 2021, £17 million funded 3,700 local good causes and community groups. In 2023, grassroots good causes will once again have the opportunity to apply for funding.
Over £91,000, raised by People’s Postcode Lottery players, has already made a difference to many small, local good causes in Newport East.
I’m delighted to be hosting this event in Newport East this summer.
We have so many good causes contributing so much to the area, but I know that many of them have been impacted by the cost-of-living crisis and reduced funding. So, to all of those charities in the area, can I encourage you to join us for this event to find out how you can access these funds.”
Head of Public Affairs at People’s Postcode Lottery, Malcolm Fleming, added: “The money raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery is making a huge difference in communities across the country.
“We want to do all we can to help local charities and good causes successfully apply – particularly at a time when many are losing out on essential funds. Our free virtual workshop is a useful opportunity for smaller, local charities and groups to find out about the funding available, get pointers on applying and ask us any questions.”
More than £1 billion has been raised for thousands of charities and good causes, thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
