A CHARITABLE foundation has been able to award thousands of pounds to community groups across the county in a bid to support environmental projects. The Dorset Community Foundation, thanks to its partnership with Wessex Water, was able to grant more than £16,000 to grass roots groups across the county for projects aimed at improving the environment in their communities. The Wessex Water Environment Fund was launched with the community foundation by The Wessex Water Foundation, a multi-million-pound initiative, launched in June 2020, which provides a dedicated funding stream for projects across the region. Many local grass roots groups across Dorset have been hit hard by the pandemic and were excited to receive the extra funding.
