The grant from Southern Water will help the local community. No Limits provides a mentoring service for parents who are under 25. The money will be spent primarily in areas like Harefield, Woolston and Bitterne on an initiative called Bright Beginning. Newsletter printing in Southampton Hedge End may be used to record any further progress which is made by the charity.
Annabel Hodgson, the chief executive of No Limits, said that the resources would assist volunteers help young families to maintain their collective health. Hodgson added that the Bright Beginnings project already has a positive record when it comes to the delivery of appropriate guidance.
Southern Water distributed five other grants to local good causes at the same time. The recipients were grateful for the corporate social responsibility shown by the organisation. Beverley Thompson, a community engagement specialist at Southern Water, told the Daily Echo:
“It’s fantastic to hear the grant awards are so well received. We realise that sometimes our work can cause disruption to communities, and this is one way we can give something back.”
One of the other local recipients of the Southern Water cash is based in a nature reserve. The Sholing Valleys Study Centre near Station Road is able to get people involved in conservation efforts.
