Dagenham And Rainham MP Working With Grassroot Groups For Young People.

The Member of Parliament for Dagenham and Rainham, Margaret Mullane, has been contacted by the Asda Foundation with news that grants are available for local groups that support young people.

Grants are now available from the Asda Foundation, aimed at helping grassroots groups to support young people between the ages of 13 and 21. Up to £500,000 is available across the UK and organisations can find more information on how to apply here: https://asdafoundation.org/our-grants/young-futures-fund/

 Margaret told the Havering Daily: “This is a valuable initiative from Asda and I certainly encourage groups from across Dagenham and Rainham to submit applications to support their work in helping young people.

 The type of community work that this initiative supports is so important in terms of providing positive activities for young people.”
