TALBOT Village Trust has donated £1,346 to local charity Dorset Parent Infant Partnership (DorPIP).

This donation has enabled them to invest in a portable and reusable promotional toolkit.

Dorset Parent Infant Partnership provides specialist therapy for families in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole areas to help improve parenting skills through parent-infant psychotherapy, attachment-led infant massage courses and facilitated peer support group.

The grant for Talbot Village Trust meant that the charity was able to purchase a new promotional toolkit to use during fundraising and public awareness events.

Founder of DorPIP, Vivian Allen said: "Talbot Village Trust generously supported us with funding for marketing materials which enabled us to raise awareness of our fledgling service to families and stakeholders.

"We have been absolutely thrilled by the support we received."

The new toolkit included new branded t-shirts, banners, bunting flags and balloons and are a valuable addition to the promotion of DorPIP.

The charity has been able to engage with five times as many families they had originally hoped for as a result of the grant from Talbot Village Trust.

Trustee at Talbot Village Trust, Russell Lucas-Rowe added: "DorPIP has been working hard to help families in our community and are having a valuable impact on those that sign-up. We are very pleased to have contributed to building their awareness across Dorset."

Talbot Village Trust meets biannually and is accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in spring 2020.
