Amazing news!
We are delighted (and a little stunned!) to announce we have secured a grant of over £111,000 from The Julia and Hans Rausing Trust https://www.juliahansrausingtrust.org/ from their Charity Survival Fund.
The Trust received a staggering 2,630 applications for a total grant pot of £18 million – the requests for support totalled £174million – so we have been fortunate indeed!
The funding will help Connex to weather the financial impact of the pandemic, which has reduced our income and incurred higher costs through changes we made to working practices to ensure our staff and clients stay safe.
We can say we all collectively breathed a sigh of relief when we heard the news! Now we can rest easier, knowing we will still be around in six months’ time delivering our support services to everyone in the local community who needs us. Thank you for believing in us @JHRTrust
