People
with disabilities, their carers and families around the UK are set to benefit
from the Community Fund's latest round of strategic grants.
The four organisations who have received grants from the Community Fund
are: Contact a Family awarded £819,220, Canine Partners for Independence
awarded £370,000, The Disabled Workers Co-operative Limited awarded £155,696
and Independent Panel for Special Education Advice awarded £154,643.
Diana Brittan, Chair of the Community Fund says: "2003 is the European Year
of People with Disabilities and to date this year the Community Fund has
given over £47 million to a variety of organisations who help disabled people.
"This latest round of grants continue to demonstrate our ongoing commitment
to disabled people and are a perfect example of lottery money making a difference
to peoples lives.
"The projects we have funded today are fantastic organisations that are
helping these people play a fuller role in society and live as independently
as possible. Their carers and families will also benefit from our recent
funding."
