Join Warrington Grasroots at their first networking event at the Halliwell Jones BMW Dealership in WArrington to learn more about the Warrington Grassroots scheme, the benfits of working with the community and Corporate Social Responsibility.
It will be an opportunity to meet fellow businesses from the Warrington in comfortable surroundings, meet the beneficiaries of Warrington Grassroots over a nice glass of wine and canapes.
The event is held in association with Businesslink Northwest.


Organized by Warrington Council for Voluntary Service


In Summer 2008 Warrington Council for Voluntary Service was chosen to launch the Grassroots Grants fund in Warrington and the local area. This is Government money to provide small grants to small and local voluntary, community and faith groups. Community and voluntary groups from Warrington with an income of 30k or less a year are invited to apply for up to 5k over 3 years. Applications are assessed by an independent local panel and grants are awarded based on the information provided in the application.
The programme has 2 elements, a small Grants Fund for applications between 250 and 5000 and an endowment scheme. Warrington CVS is actively working to set-up an endowment scheme through approaching businesses and individuals within the community to donate and invest to ensure that the award grants continues post-2011
