Tracey Pearson, Warrington Fund Manager has appeared on Granada Reports to talk about this new investment in the town.
The Warrington Fund helps distribute donations and grants where they’re needed most, from food banks to mental health charities.
Almost £100,000 is already in place from founding donors EMR, Flex, C4 Projects, BGen, Sellafield, and Warrington Borough Council.
Tracey Pearson, the Development Manager of the Warrington Fund, said: “We support thousands of charities across Cheshire. We’re sort of a bridge between donors and their local community.
“We recognised that in Warrington the need was greater than ever. We needed to grow a dedicated fund, build a pot of money, just to support the Warrington charities. We’ve been growing that fund so we can support community projects like the food bank.”
