A PARTNERSHIP with Wessex Water has helped Wiltshire Community Foundation award £9,000 to grass roots groups 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. Among the recipients was the Wessex Multiple Sclerosis Centre, which received £1,300 to make its garden more sustainable for members, who come from all over Wiltshire. “We have had the garden since 2013 but wanted to make it much more sustainable,” said director Rosie Eliot. “We have two marvellous volunteers who have put in two wheelchair-height planters, which will be really useful because lots of our members are in wheelchairs and can’t do their own gardening.”
