Ferryhill Town Council is pleased to announce that the latest group to receive funding through its Members Initiative Fund is Bright Futures Ferryhill CIC, who recently attended a presentation at Ferryhill Town Hall, where Councillor Carole Atkinson presented representatives of the group, Hannah Wilkinson and Lilly Simpson with a cheque for £150 from her individual MIF allocation.
Monies will be spent on purchasing supplies/stock to support Bright Futures Community Pantry, which is based at Ferryhill Sports and Education Centre.
The Community Pantry offers food supplies at a heavily discounted price to local families, who are struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis.
For more details about the work of Bright Futures please contact Hannah Wilkinson by email at: contact@brightfuturesferryhill.co.uk.
Councillor Carole Atkinson said: “‘I am delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile organisation.
“Bright Futures Ferryhill CIC have introduced a fantastic facility for local people, which will help many families avoid food poverty.
“I hope that this funding goes some way to supporting this fantastic and much needed facility.”
