Halton community centre

We helped the centre to make eco-friendly upgrades that help reduce its energy consumption and costs.

With many community buildings having to close their doors during Covid, it was more important than ever for us to continue supporting these vital social landmarks.

As part of our fifth round, we awarded over £29,000 in funding in total, including a £4,000 grant for Halton Community Association so that it could upgrade the community centre’s lighting and help install eco-friendly taps.

The centre, close to our Caton Moor wind farm near Lancaster, provides vital services for residents of all ages and has become a focal point of the community.

“Whether it be our baby and toddler class, our over 55s lunch club or our Knitter – natter group, the centre has something for everyone and we’re proud to have been serving our community for close to 50 years. To ensure we can continue operating, grants such as those from Thrive are vital, helping us to make the centre more energy efficient and cheaper to run. They also support our green strategy as we work towards making the building as sustainable as possible for the generations to come.”
