“West End Women and Girls Centre are grateful for the kind donation from the LGA Foundation. The money will be used to provide activities and services to women and girls from the West End of Newcastle. In the current financial climate, donations like this are more important than ever in keeping grassroots neighbourhood organisations like ourselves afloat and we cannot thank the LGA Foundation enough.“ Huffty McHugh, Coordinator for West End Women and Girls
