GRANT AWARDED - The Growing Club
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £384 to The Growing Club for two folding meeting tables. The Growing Club provides enterprise and employability training for women in the Lancaster district. They do this through core courses (Changing Direction, Business Start-up and Business Growth), workshops, drop-ins, retreats and events.
As many of the women they support are on low wages (or benefits), they aim to provide their courses free of charge (or as cheaply as possible) so that no woman is excluded. They work towards UN SDG 8.3 supporting job creation and growing enterprises towards achieving decent work for all.
They needed two folding meeting tables for their new, larger premises at White Cross, where they have now doubled their training space to two training rooms which can be opened out into a single, larger space. They had some tables but they were too heavy and bulky to move safely, limiting their capacity to be flexible with the use of the space. The new tables can be moved around easily and safely and they can now utilise the space to its full potential. This is a direct benefit for the women they support as it means they can accommodate more of them in their sessions and provide other opportunities such as networking and events to showcase their products/services.
