MAXIMUS Foundation UK has awarded a grant of £2,500 to Action for Children to support its work helping disadvantaged children in North Wales.
The UK charity, which has been active in Wales since 1911, provides practical and emotional support to improve children's lives through intervention, prevention and advocacy.
The donation forms a part of the foundation’s latest round of dedicated fundraising to help local charities nationwide.
The grant was awarded via a virtual cheque presentation by a Maximus Foundation trustee.
In 2021, Maximus Foundation UK awarded grant beneficiaries totalling £95,000.
Di Briggs, chair of Maximus Foundation UK said: “The economic and social impacts of the pandemic continue to be felt in communities across the UK.
“So, we’re delighted to be able to help Action for Children continue their essential work helping to ensure that children can live safe and happy lives.”
Kerry Roe, regional manager of Action for Children North West and North Wales, said: “The award from Maximus Foundation UK is a great contribution to our current fundraising to build a summerhouse at Longfields, Wrexham, where children and young people can safely connect with the outdoors.
“We are extremely grateful to Maximus Foundation for sharing this vision to support our projects working with children and young people.”
