GRANTS FROM THE LOTTERIES FUND

A sum of over $766,000 has been granted from the Lotteries Fund

towards social welfare services and projects.

Financial Secretary, the Hon. C.P. Haddon-Cave, said that the grants resulted

from recommendations by the Social Welfare Advisory Committee.

The grants will go to several welfare organisations for capital

vorks, the purchase of equipment, redecoration and the replacement of a bus.

of Social Welfare enabling him to approve minor capital grants not exceeding

$25,000 in any one instance,

Fund to approximately $4.6 million.
