People Know How shortlisted for £50,000 grant

Dear Friend,

For almost a year now, People Know How has been working in partnership with Polwarth Parish Church towards our shared dream of acquiring a canal boat on the Union Canal and using it as a shared community space to enhance our Positive Transitions Service. If you have been lucky enough to be part of our summer pilot, you will understand why we are so excited about this new service.

I am thrilled to report that we have taken a big step towards making that dream a reality – but we really need your help!

We have been shortlisted by Ecclesiastical Insurance to receive a grant of £50,000 as part of the 2019 MOVEMENT FOR GOOD Awards.

This grant would allow us to acquire a canal boat and recruit a member of staff to develop the All Aboard project on a full-time basis, cementing our partnerships with Polwarth Church and extending the reach of our services.

We are one of 15 projects to have been selected from hundreds of applications, and over the next 2 weeks, our friends, colleagues, and partners will have the opportunity to show their support for our project by visiting the Movement for Good website and voting for us – https://www.ecclesiastical.com/movement-for-good/50k-shortlist/people-know-how/

Please show your support and help us to secure the funding to make 2020 our biggest and best year yet!

Please also share our request with as many of contacts as you possibly can. The more support we can drum up for our application, the greater the chance that the judging panel will be persuaded to make an award in our favour.
