A Lancaster neurological charity has been given a financial boost thanks to a scheme operated by insurers, NFU Mutual.
Neuro DropIn, based at their centre on Hornbeam Road, have been awarded £7,899 from their Agency Giving Fund, after being nominated for a grant by staff at the company’s Lancaster branch.
The Agency Giving Fund is a scheme that forms part of their £4m funding pledge for local and national charities in 2025.
The fund is now in its fifth year, helping the vital work of small, local, charities all across the UK.
Staff at all NFU Mutual branches across the country were invited nominate local charities they’d like to see given support.
A spokesperson for Neuro DropIn said: ‘’A huge thank you to NFU Mutual Lancaster!
‘’We are absolutely thrilled, and truly honoured, to have been generously nominated to receive a share of NFU Mutual’s Agency Giving Fund. Thanks to their kindness and support, Neuro DropIn has received a phenomenal £7,899 donation!
‘’This week we were presented with an amazing cheque. We honestly can’t believe they chose us, and we are so grateful.
‘’This funding will make a real difference to the lives of our members and will go directly towards our new Neuro Physio group sessions, provided by the amazing team at Neurocare Physio.
‘’From all of us, thank you for believing in us.’’
Nick Turner, Group Chief Executive at NFU Mutual, commented: “NFU Mutual is proud to be a purpose-led, member-driven organisation. We recognise that these are challenging times, and place great importance on our commitment to being there for our members and making a positive impact in local communities.
