Examples of funded support:

A social worker funded a new bed for a young person with additional needs.
Local primary schools received funding for arts weeks, sensory equipment, and educational trips.
School family workers supported relocated families with furniture and school uniforms.
Local charities used grants to run holiday clubs and deliver services for vulnerable groups.
