LandWorks is celebrating after being awarded £20,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund. The funding will support the charity over the next year and help LandWorks to continue running its programme of intensive placements for people leaving prison or serving community sentences.
The National Lottery grant will make an important contribution to the charity’s running costs and in particular the costs of employing its Health and Wellbeing Lead. This role helps to ensure that participants receive the tailored support they need to engage fully with the programme, improve their wellbeing and make positive progress towards a more stable future.
Responding to the news of the new grant, Chris Parsons, Project Director, said: “We’re delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised our work in this way. We have had a lot of support from them over the years and thanks to National Lottery players, this new funding will help us to continue our work over the next 12 months.”
“LandWorks works with people who are often among the most socially excluded in society. This funding will help people to stabilise their lives, improve their skills and move towards employment and a crime-free future. That benefits not only the individuals involved but also our local communities.”
