John Goore Fund

The John Goore Fund has been set up to provide support to local residents of Lydiate. The fund supports voluntary/community groups undertaking projects that benefit Lydiate and its residents, as well as local groups providing education and training to those classed as NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Applications for funding will only be considered if the organisation is based in and is supporting residents of Lydiate. Groups providing education and training can apply for up to £1,000 providing no more than £250 is allocated to each beneficiary, while other groups can apply for up to £500. The fund supports equipment for local groups, environmental improvements in the local area, local community events, items or activities which clearly demonstrate the advancement of further education or training, and costs towards relevant accreditations.
