A Harrogate-based social enterprise has been awarded a grant worth more than £151,000.
Artizan International will receive £151,509 from the National Lottery Community Fund, which will be used for its “The Artizan Collective" project.
The Artizan Collective will deliver a timetable of activities ranging from social nights, weekend creative sessions and drama clubs to co-production groups, bread-making sessions and nights out on the town.
A spokesperson for Artizan International said:
“This grant will allow us to run this exciting project for the next two years and create the sustainability to allow it to continue long after that.
“The aim of the project is to increase the services we offer to our disabled community in North Yorkshire and attract more members and partner organisations to work with us.
“Come and join the adventure with us today!”
The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK.
It recently launched its strategy, ‘It starts with community’, to distribute £4 billion of National Lottery funding by 2030.
Thanks to National Lottery players, last year the National Lottery Community Fund awarded over half a billion pounds (£686.3 million) to communities across the UK, supporting over 13,700 projects.
The Artizan spokesperson added:
“This funding would not be possible without the National Lottery players support so thank you everyone.”
