The grant cheques were presented by Sefton Council Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, Cllr Trish Hardy, and Sefton CVS Chief Executive Angela White OBE.
Cllr Hardy commented: “I was delighted to attend the presentation ceremony – it’s always a pleasure to support our fantastic VCF sector in Sefton. The grants given out will greatly benefit our local communities.”
Angela White added: “These awards will hopefully be the first of many similar Sefton 4 Good grants supporting the excellent work done by VCF sector organisations throughout the borough.”
