More groups in East Yorkshire have benefited as a result of grants issued by Tesco in Beverley.
Community projects in the town have received cash from the supermarket giant which will be used to fund a range of projects.
In the Beverley area, the three groups will each benefit from the latest round of grants.
The Old School House has received £1,500 for its Memory Care Murals. Keldmarsh Primary School received £500 for their school reading project.
Julie McKay, Activity Co-ordinator at The Old School House, said:
“Staff and Service users at The Old School House of Beverley would like to thank Tesco for their generous Community Grant.”
“The funds will be spent on garden wall memory murals, created by Katy of Wall Things Bright & Beautiful, a local artist whose artwork is inspired by nature.”
“The project aims to create a therapeutic atmosphere in the garden that is calm and relaxing, yet stimulating, for our service users living with dementia.”
