Pastures Green Support and Wellbeing Services (PGS) CIC are celebrating after receiving £10,000.00 in National Lottery funding. 

Pastures Green Support and Wellbeing Services (PGS) CIC based in Wolverhampton is celebrating today after being awarded £10,000 in funding from The National Lottery Community Fund (Awards for All), the largest funder of community activity in the UK. 

Pastures Green Support and Wellbeing Services (PGS) CIC will use their funding to develop an older people's healthy lifestyle and physical activities programme.  

This new National Lottery funding will support at least 60 elders from diverse communities, with focus on those of African Caribbean heritage. People will be encouraged to: 1) Incorporate and adopt regular physical exercise into daily routines. 2) Increase mobility, balance, coordination, flexibility, movement and agility skills. 3) Increase interpersonal social skills and feel more confident interacting and communicating with new people. 4) Leave the solitude of their home environment to meet new people. 5) Be better skilled in healthy cooking and informed of how to eat healthier.  

National Lottery players raise over £30 million a week for good causes across the UK. The National Lottery Community Fund distributes a share of this to projects to support people and communities to prosper and thrive.   

One of the directors said “Thanks to National Lottery players, this grant means that we can continue to provide essential support to adults aged 50 and over, including those living with Dementia and other mental health issues, also their carers. We provide a range of activities and support to help reduce loneliness and isolation and improve mental and physical wellbeing. This will make a big difference to people’s lives.”  

During the pandemic, in 2020 alone, The National Lottery Community Fund distributed almost £1 billion to charities and community organisations across the UK. To find out more visit
