Kevin Calmiano, Finance Manager at Wave who distributes the Fund, said: "There are so many inspiring community groups in the area who want to organise activities that improve the health of local people, but finding funding to provide these services can be difficult.

"At Wave, we are proud to provide the financial support needed to help these groups to carry out their services, inspire active lifestyles and increase participation in sport."
