Jim Knight, Regional Minister for the South West, said the package of
grants will help charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises
improve vital facilities they provide for their communities.
The grants, worth up to £30,000 each, are part of the Capital
Investment Programme delivered by Capacitybuilders. They support small
scale improvements to resource centres that can make a big difference for
charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises whose services
are suffering in tough economic times.
Regional Minister for the South West, Jim Knight said: "All across the
South West local resource centres are playing a big part in community life.
They play an important role and I am pleased these grants will help them
improve the accessibility or quality of their accommodation.
"Pooling resources with other community centres means they will be able to
concentrate on delivering the services local communities need."
