Part of the ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) work involves giving local people small sparks funding to help them with and idea they may have or skills they would like to share.
Beeston-based charity Better Action For Families (BAFF) have just given out the 26th Small Sparks grant to Glen at Cardinal Court. Cllr Shaf Ali (Labour, Besston & Holbeck) was pleased to hand over the cheque for £250, which will help to transform the entrance to Cardinal Court sheltered housing complex.
Glen has worked really hard on keeping the gardens looking beautiful using his own time and money. BAFF were approached to see if Glen would be eligible for a grant to help him purchase shrubs and plants to make the entrance more welcoming. Glen said making the entrance nicer would cheer up visitors and residents would be able to sit and enjoy the garden.
