The LCP Foundation is increasing its support for Community Group charities Trinity Winchester and The Felix Project. Over the next two years, the Foundation will provide the charities with a total grant of £140,000 (with each charity receiving a grant of £70,000 spread over two years).

Since its launch in 2019, the Foundation has been supporting important causes and addressing broader societal issues. This includes providing grants and matching employee-raised funds to contribute to various initiatives.

The Foundation, in particular, has been impressed by the impactful work of Trinity Winchester and The Felix Project. Trinity Winchester offers shelter and support services to those affected by homelessness in Winchester, along with Women’s Services catering to individuals facing domestic abuse and social isolation. Meanwhile, The Felix Project plays a crucial role in delivering surplus food to charities and schools, ensuring they can provide healthy meals to the most vulnerable members of society.

In addition to this initiative, the Foundation is also pledging £5,000 to both InCommon, a charity focused on connecting young people with their older neighbours in retirement homes to learn and build friendships, and the Refugee Council who support and empower refuges and people seeking asylum in the UK.

Lia Licietis, Chair of the Foundation Committee, commented: “The current economic climate has made some in our wider communities more vulnerable than ever. That is why we feel so passionate about supporting charities making a big difference and align with our values of wanting to positively contribute to the wellbeing, prosperity and health of society.”
