BradAid Suspension Statement

 

An update on the BRADAID hardship fund

 

BradAid was conceived to assist when times are hard, we have offered support in the form of unique cash grants since April 2020

 

The fund has been administered by Bradninch Together, all the money we have given out has been donated by the good people of Bradninch and Hele.  Thank you for your support and generosity.

 

We are very proud of our community, who have given over £12,000.

Sadly we have run out of money.

 

We are pausing BradAid for the time being. The Bradninch Together Directors are considering the future of this scheme.

 

BradAid has helped by giving £12,000 to 70 people.

 

We regret that no new applications for BradAid grants can be accepted until further notice
