Last month, we were delighted to celebrate the dedication, hard work and passion that has gone into the delivery of many inspiring Community Grants projects – which supports individuals’ employability, social, and work experience skills.

We couldn’t have done it without the amazing support from everyone involved, thank you for making such a difference over the past three and a half years.

Below is a summary video, highlighting the success of the programme:


Neil Hart, Programmes Manager at SEMLEP, said: “It was really great to be able to celebrate all we've achieved through our ESFA funded Community Grants programme with so many of the project leads. Collectively we have achieved so much to improve the employability and life chances of so many people across the South East Midlands. Thanks to everyone involved, especially our fantastic SEMLEP team Lizzie Howe Heide Price and Alli Colman.

I'm really looking forward to being able to complete the programme evaluation with Fry Creative so that we can demonstrate the full impact of what has been achieved and to share learnings.”

Heide Price, Project Administrator for SEMLEP, said: "It’s been a pleasure to work with all the projects over the last three years. Good luck to you all for the future and keep up the good work."
