Projects get stamp of approval from lottery
Little Steps nursery, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and Leith Community Mediaworks are among more than 900 groups to have received cash from a £6 million fund this year. The lottery’s small grants programme hands out grants of between £500 and £10,000, while larger projects can earn up to £100,000.
Clara Govier, head of charities and communications at People’s Postcode Lottery, said: “2012 has been a hard year for many charities as funding opportunities have been increasingly difficult to achieve.
“So we are absolutely delighted that we are finishing the year with such a wonderful announcement, and look forward to increasing our support to groups in need across 2013.”
