Grant awarded - the gregson centre
The 3R Foundation has awarded £1,000 to The Gregson Centre for 13x folding trestle tables. Home to over 60 community groups, CICs and charities and with 107 volunteers, the Gregson is Lancaster's only community led arts and community centre and cafe bar (which is open daily).
Home to over 60 community groups, CICs and charities and with 107 volunteers, the Gregson is Lancaster's only community led arts and community centre and cafe bar (which is open daily). It was saved from closure after lockdown by the local community, so that now all the income made is invested back into the centre and the community, which is something that the 3R Foundation is also very keen on.
In 2023 the Gregson held 2,351 events. Of these, 219 were Arts and Crafts sessions, 390 were social events or parties, and 125 were children's activities. The vast majority of these required trestle tables. So when we got a grant application to replace their old and worn out folding tables, that are used by so many people, we were delighted to be able to help.
