“I am delighted that these excellent groups in my constituency have been chosen to benefit from Awards for All grants. Funding such as this makes the difference between having a good idea, and turning it into a reality.

“I wish all those involved the very best as they seek to make their local communities more enjoyable for everyone around them.”
