The Wosskow Brown Foundation, which launched in 2014 and pledged to help 300 businesses, charities, social enterprises and sports clubs over the next five years, is appealing for groups to come forward to apply for assistance under its second WB100 initiative.

Richard Caborn, former industry and sports minister and driving force behind the Olympic Legacy Park at Don Valley, recently called the initiative ‘a model for the UK to follow.’ One company to benefit during the first phase of the programme was Pulse Health, Fitness & Wellbeing, which provides sessions to more than 150 care homes and schools in Yorkshire.

Programme director Jim Lawson said: “Our offer is to provide 20 hours of free support to local organisations to assist them to achieve their ambitions for growth.” Contact [email protected] for more details.
