Northamptonshire Community Foundation awarded nine grants totaling £63,050.51 to voluntary and community organisations across Northamptonshire from Arts Council England’s Let’s Create Jubilee Fund.
The Let’s Create Jubilee Fund aims to ensure that thousands of people from communities across England will have the opportunity to take part in exciting creative events – all in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee.
To celebrate, Northamptonshire Community Foundation has put together a guide outlining all of the events taking part across the county that have received funding from the Art’s Council England’s Let’s Create Fund. All the events are free to attend and aim to provide activities for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in.
