Telford based housing group’s £20k anniversary gift to groups
The Wrekin Housing Trust has launched a £20,000 fund for groups around the region to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Clubs and societies from around Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire and Staffordshire could get grants of up to £1,000 as part of the fund.
Wayne Gethings, The Wrekin Housing Group’s interim chief executive, said: “It’s great to be able to announce this special anniversary fund.
Tradition
“As a proud community champion the Trust has worked with numerous community groups from sports clubs and arts festivals to local history societies and faith groups over the twenty years.
“ So we look forward to carrying on this tradition with the £20,000 Anniversary Fund.”
The trust employs over 530 people, including 170 fully qualified tradespeople. It is part of the wider Wrekin Housing Group.
The group consists of care provider Choices Housing Association, social enterprises The Furniture Scheme, Fuse and Reviive, and The Shropshire Housing Alliance, and employs 1,300 people in total.
A panel of tenants and staff from The Wrekin Housing Trust will judge applications to the fund.
