Lancaster community centre celebrates £20,000 lottery grant

The Gregson arts and community centre in Lancaster has been awarded £20,000 in National Lottery funding.

The grant – from the National Lottery Community Fund – will be used to further invest in volunteers at the popular city centre venue.

This grant will be used to provide new, more diverse volunteering opportunities, empower volunteers to take a more active role in the charity, and to engage with a wider range of local people.

A spokesperson for The Gregson said: ‘’The Gregson has always been shaped by the people around it and this funding offers us the opportunity to engage more deeply with local people and volunteers to ensure the Gregson is a truly responsive community and arts organisation.

‘’Thank you National Lottery Players, and thank you to our amazing volunteers, old and new, current and future!

‘’Watch this space for exciting things to come.’’
