A mental health and well-being project in Bourne has secured five years of National Lottery funding totalling over £360,000.
Don't Lose Hope’s Shed and Community Garden Project reaches around 250 people every week and this award allows it to be totally self-sufficient. It comes as founder Dom Brister also becomes the national ambassador for the Shed’s project and is helping to judge Shed of the Year. Dom says the National Lottery were impressed at the impact the project in Bourne is having.
‘The panel said look, you know, we can see that you are supporting over 250 people a week on average just through the Shed. And the difference, not only will it makes the people in the Shed, but all the other groups because it means that the funding that was being used to keep the shed going can now be split and spread over, you know, the counselling services and the Night Cafe and all the groups that go on during the week. So to know that the National Lottery, basically a world renowned funding supporter, is putting money our way’.
