Loneliness-fighting Honiton charity TRIP Community Transport has met over 4,000 requests for community support during the pandemic thanks in part to the Exeter Community Energy (ECOE) community fund.
ECOE awarded TRIP £500 to cover staffing costs from its community fund, which is accepting new applications until 5pm Friday, January 15.
“The grant from ECOE could not have come at a more important time for TRIP,” said TRIP deputy manager Sharon Thorne.
“The money has helped us keep the ‘doors open’ and help the community during the current pandemic.”
“All our community fund recipients have faced unprecedented challenges this year, and ECOE is proud to help them,” added ECOE chair Andy Extance.
