Project Description
A collaboration of businesses supporting local projects
Funding grassroots projects around Regent’s Place to make a real difference
The Regent’s Place Community Fund is an exciting and unique business-led initiative, in which businesses at Regent’s Place have come together to support local grassroot charities and make a real difference to our local area. The Fund focuses on projects that support social cohesion in the community, skills and access to employment, and healthy living.
Semble has come on board to co-deliver the Regent’s Place Community Fund in it’s third year.
