We have been pretty quiet so far this year while we digest this news:
SAND has been awarded £150,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund!!
Thanks to the money, raised by National Lottery players, SAND will develop a 5 year project which aims to “EMBRACE a culture of inclusion” in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. We will build on local knowledge and experience, create a collective vision of an inclusive future in health & social care and work collaboratively with older and old LGBT people, service providers and others to achieve the vision.
Stu Maddux, Director of Gen Silent – the film that started it all off, said: “I am so proud that our film has been the springboard for such important and inspiring work. Thanks to National Lottery players in the UK, SAND can really make a difference”
Fantastic news – well done guys – very well deserved and look forward to this spreading across the country is due course.
