We’re delighted to help fund this great new initiative through our new Microgrants Programme. From jet washers to pasta makers, the hope is Bedfordians will pool their resources to borrow rather than buy. Save money, reduce waste and consumption and use things more meaningfully!

We've received lovely photos from @CarersInBeds after instead of sending Christmas cards last year we donated the money to the team to spend on the young carers they support. They got selection boxes & flashing wands at a recent pantomime trip #YoungCarers
