Ferryhill Town Council present Members Initiative Fund Cheque To Bright Futures Ferryhill CIC
Ferryhill Town Council is pleased to announce that the latest group to receive funding through its Members Initiative Fund is Bright Futures Ferryhill CIC, who recently attended a presentation at Ferryhill Town Hall, where Councillor Carole Atkinson presented representatives of the group, Hannah Wilkinson and Lilly Simpson with a cheque for £150 from her individual MIF allocation.
Monies will be spent on purchasing supplies/stock to support Bright Futures Community Pantry, which is based at Ferryhill Sports and Education Centre. The Community Pantry offers food supplies at a heavily discounted price to local families, who are struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis. For more details about the work of Bright Futures please contact Hannah Wilkinson by email at: contact@brightfuturesferryhill.co.uk
Councillor Carole Atkinson said ‘I am delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile organisation. Bright Futures Ferryhill CIC have introduced a fantastic facility for local people, which will help many families avoid food poverty. I hope that this funding goes some way to supporting this fantastic and much needed facility.
