Lamont Pridmore Grassroots Fund

The Lamont Pridmore Grassroots Fund provides grants for small voluntary, community groups and grassroots organisations to enable them to continue or expand their work in advocacy, community voice, and service provision for local people in the former district of Allerdale, particularly the Workington area. The fund supports voluntary and community groups that help people learn new things and increase their personal confidence, get people involved in their community, and make the community a better place to live. Examples of supported projects include theatre workshops for schoolchildren in deprived areas, coaching training for local trampoline clubs, kit and equipment for junior football clubs, premises hire for youth club activities, and music workshops and master classes in schools. Grants will normally be less than £1,000 over one year, though there is no strict minimum or maximum award amount.
