We want to support and promote all your amazing ‘acts of kindness’ over Christmas, so please let us know if we can help! Any local group can apply by emailing grants@interlinkrct.org.uk for a £250 grant to help with any Christmas related activities. This could include food and meals, gifts and volunteer expenses.
All we need from you is to share what you are doing with us and others on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #KindnessRCT. Or, you can email us with the details and we can post something for you.
