A lot can happen in a matter of months, and it has all been happening here at Williams Trust in April, May and June.
The following is a breakdown of grants made during this time:
- £200 given to a homeless charity to support a man they were working with
- A years’ gym membership bought for a man struggling with injury, and subsequent unemployment, to help him back to fitness
- £400 given to workers supporting families in crisis with emergency electric and gas top-ups
- The Trust paid £1,650 for the hire of a van, fuel and Euro tunnel fare for a local man to take aid to Ukraine
- £100 given to the local food bank
- £1,000 was used to buy a commercial cooker for a project feeding families on low incomes
- £150 given to a family fleeing from Domestic Violence, enabling mum to take her children to the zoo – something she had never been able to afford to do
- £40 was given for a mum to be able to afford transport to get her 8 year old with sight loss to Southampton hospital for an appointment
- The Trust paid £1,200 to enable a family – who have a 2 year old with a life limiting illness – to have a break at Center Parcs in an adapted lodge.
- 2 payments have been made to families who are struggling to keep their heads above water in the current climate and a further £250 to an aspiring ballerina to help pay for her portfolio photos
