A Greenwich based theatre group has been awarded £4,020 in Lottery funding.
The Pindrop Theatre group, based in Caradoc Street, Greenwich, offers drama workshops to groups of young people in areas of social deprivation. The project will work with schools, colleges and community centres in with the aim of raising self esteem and encouraging creativity.
Other recipients in the area who will benefit from funding include the Blackheath Asian Forum, which is going to use its award of £5,550 to create a new cricket club for players aged 16 and over, and also the Friends of Tarn in Mottingham who have been handed £5,000 to create a new butterfly and wildlife garden.
The handouts came from Awards for All – the small grants scheme administered by the Big Lottery Fund on behalf of Lottery good cause funders, Arts Council England, Big Lottery Fund, Heritage Lottery Fund and Sport England.
