First launch new Greater Reach Fund this Volunteers Week

04 Jun 2024

We are proud to launch our new "Greater Reach Fund" to support our local community and charities across Warrington.

First Recruitment Group, in collaboration with Warrington Voluntary Action (WVA), have launched the 'Greater Reach Fund,' a new funding initiative that offers grants to voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations across Warrington.

The Greater Reach Fund is designed to allocate community grants to VCSE organisations that play a pivotal role in supporting local residents. With a focus on promoting inclusivity and diversification, these grants are offered to help organisations broaden their reach and enhance accessibility to their services.


Beth Thorpe, People and Culture Partner at First Recruitment Group said: "At First Recruitment Group, we have a deep-rooted commitment to the Warrington community, having been established and based in the area for over 25 years. With the launch of the Greater Reach Fund we aim to provide tangible support to organisations that share our values andare truly making a difference in our town. In addition to financial grants, which we understand are crucial in today's challenging climate for charities, we're also committed to forming lasting partnerships and offering our time through volunteering. Our goal is simple, to offer real, meaningful support and to build strong connections within our community


The Greater Reach Fund offers grants of up to £500 per group and is open to Warrington-based VCSE organisations conducting activities within the area. These grants can be utilised for different purposes including purchasing equipment, hiring guest practitioners, publicity efforts, covering memberships/subscriptions, and supporting activities aimed at diversifying user bases. The fund is now live and accepting applications through a simple online application process.


James Goodison, Group Development at Warrington Voluntary Action said: "We are thrilled to support First Recruitment Group in launching the 'Greater Reach Fund’. This initiative exemplifies our shared commitment to supporting grassroots initiatives and supporting a more inclusive community."
