Official launch of CharterPlus » Housing » 24dash.com

A celebratory event to mark the official launch of CharterPlus, a member of Sanctuary Group, is being held at the Sunshine Centre in Banbury on Friday, 21st November.

Set-up by Charter Community Housing, CharterPlus is an organisation which provides support for voluntary groups in the local community by offering funds through the form of a grant to help boost their activities.

Grants may also be awarded to help establish new groups and generate new activities in the Cherwell District or Witney, contributing to the overall well-being of the local community.

The Sunshine Centre is the first group in the community to see the benefits of a grant from CharterPlus after receiving £50,000 towards funding the cost of two new family support workers at the centre.

Tony Baldry MP for North Oxfordshire said: “This is hugely significant for local charities and the community.

“Charter has managed to turn the Sunshine Centre’s vision for family support workers into a reality and there are other voluntary groups in Oxfordshire who could benefit from this new and valuable source of funding.“

The launch celebration will be marked with speeches from John Holmes, Chair of CharterPlus, Harj Lota, Charter Community Housing managing director, and Jill Edge, manager of the Sunshine Centre, before an official cake cutting ceremony.
