New funding available for Fylde coast Community groups and organisations
People’s Health Trust has just launched Active Communities and it wants to invest in neighbourhoods experiencing disadvantage by using money raised by Health Lottery North West through The Health Lottery.
The Projects could be almost anything that encourages strong connections between people, and that help people to make their communities or neighbourhoods even better places to grow, live, work and age.

John Hume, the trust’s chief executive, said: “We’re looking to support ideas designed and run by local people which help create even stronger links and ties within communities.”
