Inclusive Exeter awarded Lottery funding

Inclusive Exeter has received funding from the National Lottery Community Fund to run a three-year project working with grassroots ethnically diverse communities in Exeter and the surrounding areas.

The Better Connections project will support Inclusive Exeter to continue its drop-in support service, enabling beneficiaries to overcome the immediate difficulties they present with and in the longer term enhance their self-esteem.

Through cultural events and the Physical Activity Programme people will be better connected within their own communities.

The project will promote cross-cultural links, breaking down barriers, improving understanding between people and generally contributing to a more cohesive society.

Individuals and families will see improved wellbeing, reduced isolation and improved physical and mental health.
