Local community action group, Our Burslem, has received a fundraising boost of £550 from St. Modwen Homes, in their quest to spread much needed festive cheer in Stoke-on-Trent this year. The donation was used to purchase a Christmas tree and lights, helping to brighten Burslem town centre.
Set up in 2011, Our Burslem is now backed by thousands of residents who care passionately about their neighbourhood. The group usually holds events throughout the year to raise money for Burslem’s Christmas festivities, but the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to their 2020 fundraising plans.
