A PROJECT aiming to reduce social isolation and boost wellbeing for local residents in Burntwood has been boosted by a £15,000 grant.

The project, run by Burntwood Be A Friend and St Anne’s Church, was given the money by Burntwood Town Council.

It came after a survey of residents last year found that adult mental health and wellbeing support should be a key priority for grant funding.

The project will receive £5,000 a year for the next three years to help develop the scheme, which offers weekly walking groups and drop-in sessions.

Cllr Di Evans, chair of the community and partnerships committee at Burntwood Town Council said:

> “We are delighted to present the grant to support this joint project. The activities they run support residents with their mental health and wellbeing, which we know is unfortunately troubling many.  
>  
> “Councillors concluded that it was such a worthwhile application, so the funding will support this project for the next three years.  
>  
> “The town council wishes them every success in their venture.”
