🧡It's Small Charity Week & we’d like to say thank you to all the small charities that make such a big impact to their communities, every day. We’re proud to fund 100s of local #Somerset groups each year. ✨The annual income of a typical organisation that we fund is around £30K.

🚢Recognising the 75th anniversary of the #Windrush arriving in the UK means supporting our African Caribbean community to share their stories. Our grants helped SACN highlight Windrush elders’ vital role building Britain’s history. #WindrushDay #Windrush75
