The Open Legacy Fund is backing community projects across Sefton following the 154th Open at Royal Birkdale. Funded by The R&A, the grants will help local groups support households facing hardship, improve access to green spaces and reduce the cost of delivering community services.
In Southport, Compassion Acts will distribute surplus household essentials through a new Mini Multibank, while Southport Sports and Community Centre will create an accessible garden for residents, including people living with dementia and their carers. Sefton North Scouts will install solar panels at Waterside Lodge.
In Bootle, Brunswick Youth and Community Centre will use an electric minivan for deliveries and youth activities. Gateway Collective will bring residents together through growing food and sharing meals. A separate grant will support local charities assisting people affected by the Southport tragedy.
