The Transformative Work of the We Love the Moorlands Charity Fund

We Love the Moorlands is a local fund that works with small charities and community groups over the Moorlands region.  Part of the Community Foundation for Staffordshire they are dedicated to helping good causes specifically in the Moorlands area. 

A panel of local volunteers help to deliver grant awards in the Moorlands.  Over the course of the year they award around £25,000 to many groups, each grant can be up to £1000 –  A spokesperson for the group said "If you need some extra help we want to hear from you! "

Recently the fund has helped The Beatrice Charity; a narrowboat on the Cauldon canal running community charity trips and @21 The Young People’s Place, a drop-in centre that supports teenagers in the centre of Leek.  Over 5,000 individuals have benefited from grant from the fund during last year alone.

Sue Webber, trustee of the Beatrice charity said “This award from We Love the Moorlands is absolutely fantastic because it will enable us to train four new skippers, so that we can offer many more trips to children with special needs and other groups – this grant will makes so much difference.”
