THREE Colchester projects have received a cash boost from county-wide grants.
The Colchester Furniture project has been given £5,000 towards the cost of collecting, storing and distributing furniture and other household items to those who are in need, from the Essex Millennium Fund 2013.
Also supported by the fund with a £2,000 grant is the Colchester Carers Centre to tackle increased overhead costs in supporting carers in the town.
Children’s workshops run by the Roman River Music Society during their October music festival have been supported after the society was given £5,000 from the Essex County Council Chairman’s Fund.
