Bestwood Welfare ‘Black Diamonds’ Band from Nottingham has announced that they have been successful in their application for a grant from The Grassroots Grant Programme which is administered by the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation.

Goals

The band which has been going for over 70 years which was formerly a Coal Mining band received £4945.00 from the foundation which the band will use to purchase new instruments. Receiving this grant will help the band achieve that goal.

Thanks

The band spokesperson Richard Greenwood told 4BR: "We would like to thank the Nottinghamshire Community Foundation which receives its income from local benefactors, businesses and government agencies in helping us with our project."
