Sunrise Multicultural Project Receives Grant from the Peoples Postcode Lottery

We are excited to share some wonderful news – Sunrise Multicultural Project has been awarded a generous grant from the Peoples Postcode Lottery!
This funder will have a real and lasting impact on the work we do with ethnically diverse communities and families here in Banbury. It will help us continue running our youth clubs, cultural celebrations, drop-in sessions, and educational workshops, as well as develop new opportunities that bring people together and reduce isolation.
Our community is home to people from many different backgrounds, cultures, and languages. This grant means we can strengthen our support, expand our reach, and ensure that everyone – regardless of background – has the chance to feel included, valued and empowered.
We extend our gratitude to the Postcode Lottery and to everyone who plays – you’re helping us change lives for the better.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund, Cherwell District Council, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, Oxford Community Foundation, Banbury Charities and Banbury Town Council for their continued support. Their commitment to fostering inclusive, diverse communities has been invaluable in helping us grow and reach more people.
