Many thanks to the Postcode Local Trust which has awarded Cotswold Friends a substantial grant towards our Community Activities Programme. Postcode Local Trust is a grant-giving charity, funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Since launching in 2005 players of the lottery have raised hundreds of millions of pounds for thousands of organisations across Britain and internationally. By providing financial support for charities and good causes, Postcode Local Trust helps communities enhance their natural environment in a way that benefits the wider community.

Julie Mitchell, Community Activities Manager, comments: “Getting together with friends is a vital part of happy, healthy communities. At Cotswold Friends we support lots of local groups including Lunch Clubs, Knit and Natter, Men-in-Sheds, Community Singing, Walking Football, Walking Netball and Gentle Walking. As we continue to reopen our Community Activities, we will use this award to support and expand the programme.”
