Funeral Partners branches continue to make a meaningful difference across the UK, once again inviting local charities and organisations to apply for the latest round of funding designed to support their communities.
Thousands of pounds have already been donated by 10 funeral brands in the Funeral Partners network as part of their Community Funds and Community Assistance Programmes. Nine of these branches are now preparing to support even more inspiring community groups in their next wave of funding. They include:
• A N Abraham Funeral Directors – Hemsworth and South Elmsall, West Yorkshire
• Eaves Funeral Service – Whitehaven, Cumbria
• Elizabeth Way & Company Funeral Directors – Mossley, Greater Manchester
• Howard’s Funeral Directors – Southport and Ainsdale, Merseyside
• John Blenkiron & Sons Funeral Directors (incorporating Simon Barningham) – Richmond, Barnard Castle, Catterick and Reeth, North Yorkshire/County Durham
• John G Hogg Funeral Directors – Sunderland, Tyne & Wear
• Kavanagh & Coates Funeral Services – Heywood, Greater Manchester
• Melia Powell Funeral Services – Bradford Road, Sandbeds, and Cavendish Street, Keighley
• ML Williams Funeral Directors – Ayr, South Ayrshire
John G Hogg Funeral Director Claire Ward, who has helped co-ordinate her branch Community Fund, said: “It’s brilliant to be able to support the work of dedicated groups doing amazing things to help residents and the wider community each and every day. These grants highlight the wonderful variety of projects happening on our doorstep – from children’s groups and disability support to local sports and environmental initiatives.”
Further grants are now available to fund local activities which improve the quality of life of residents and the wider community. Projects must align with one or more of four categories – Health, Education, Employment Opportunities and Poverty and Social Deprivation. The deadline for applications is October 27 at 12 noon.
