THE Homeless Support Project in Leigh has been given £3,868 from the Big Lottery Fund.
The money will be used to equip a kitchen to prepare hot food for vulnerable and homeless families, adults and young people.
Based on Railway Road, the charity offers food, drink, clothes, sleeping bags, tents and support and advice to the homeless, needy and destitute in Leigh and the wider Wigan borough.
Big Lottery Fund grants are given to organisations throughout the UK to help improve their communities.
The money awarded comes from the UK National Lottery.
