Fantastic local funding opportunities - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

This week's newsletter features an introduction to our Community Development team, Lucy and Joe! To give you an idea about what goes on behind the scenes at KCSC, we've published a short article on our website in which we gave our teams the chance to describe the work they do to support organisations and residents in different ways.

You can read the article here.

Keep an eye out on future editions to meet our other teams!
