The ‘Love Cambridge Shopping’ partnership has created a new fund to provide grants
to community groups within Cambridge City.
The new fund is offering Cambridge-based
groups grants of up to £250. To be eligible, the group should comprise mainly volunteers
working for the benefit of their local community, and the funding must be for a 
specific project.

Graham Thompson, spokesperson for Love Cambridge Shopping, and development manager
for Land Securities said: “The fund is our way of thanking Cambridge for bearing
with us while the works on the new city centre shopping takes place.

“There are a number of projects that could be funded; new equipment or resources,
outings, an event, promotional material, training for volunteers are a few examples.
The community groups of Cambridge make a significant contribution to the people 
of the City and we want to make it easier for them to provide their vital services
and projects.”
