Harborne charity wins Love Brum funding
Love Brum, the Birmingham-based charity which distributes funds to support the work of local organisations, has awarded its monthly members’ grant to Cerebral Palsy Midlands.
Each month Love Brum selects three organisations based around a theme and its members vote for the cause they want to support with £2,000.
October’s theme of physical health saw Cerebral Palsy Midlands selected ahead of the Charlotte and Craig Saving Hearts Foundation and the Salus Fatigue Foundation.
Cerebral Palsy Midlands, which is 70 years old, provides specialist care for people, as well as their families, carers from their community day centre in Harborne.
It plans to use the funding to host a Big Night Out for 180 of its service users and carers.
The Charlotte and Craig Saving Hearts Foundation has provided over two hundred defibrillators across the Birmingham area since 2010, in a response to the undetected heart condition Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS).
The Salus Fatigue Foundation supports people and their families and friends affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). They offer four support groups, educational workshops and self-help groups to sufferers at their base in Sutton Coldfield.
