Four Shropshire charities receive £1,000 in funding following overwhelming public support
Four Shropshire charities have received £1,000 in donations from the latest round of funding from the Benefact Group.
All Saints Church, in Broseley; Cuan Wildlife Rescue, in Much Wenlock; Shrewsbury & Newport Canals Trust and the Orthopaedic Institute at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry have scooped the funding.
It comes after overwhelming support from people around the county who voted for the charities to benefit from the money.
Shropshire residents took to the Movement for Good: Benefact Group website in order to show their support to the local charities.
Bernie Jones, head of the Shrewsbury & Newport Canals Trust said: "We were thrilled to hear the news that the Movement for Good had awarded our charity £1,000.
"In these post-pandemic, cost of living crisis times, this money is very welcome indeed. It will enable our restoration of two historically important narrowboats to take a big step closer to being completed.
"The money will actually be used to purchase the timber and other materials needed for our volunteers to replace the cabin’s floor, thereby completing the work on the first cabin.
