Recipients of the Open Fund and Inside Out Fund are undertaking a variety of projects within the local area. A range of groups are benefitted as a result of the work done by these organisations, including youth groups, choirs, and schools in and around Loughborough. 

Stakeholder Relations Manager, Alison Barlow said: “The University is proud to be able to support charities and voluntary organisations in the local area through the Community Donations Fund. The range of projects and activities we were able to give small pots of money to this year was extremely wide-ranging and it was great to meet many of the representatives at our event. We wish them all every success with the work that they do.” The University awarded a total of £6750 across the two funds, contributing to improvements within the community which will be undertaken by the groups awarded.
