The grant will also allow the team to proceed with offering a cost-free budgeting course to clients and non-clients in partnership with other Frome-based organizations.
We're delighted The National Lottery Community Fund has recognized our work in this way. We will be able to continue our core debt work and also provide the Money Course to our community, and develop our services further as we identify the needs. This is important because debt takes the joy out of life and becomes a great mental strain on families as well as individuals, and if we can help people with budgeting, we can help prevent debt before it becomes a problem.
National Lottery grants are funded by revenue generated from the sales of National Lottery tickets. Through the scheme, the government supports various organizations and projects across the United Kingdom.
