Gillespie: We welcome applications from community groups
IW Foundation chairman Rob Gillespie said,
“In the last nine years we have been proud to work with a wide range of organisations who are supporting people to play an active part in their communities and assisting them in accessing employment and housing.
“But we know this work is ongoing and we would welcome applications from community groups for grant funding this year.”
