Liverpool communities receive funding to celebrate Eurovision

More than 60 community groups and grassroots organisations have received funding to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest across the Liverpool City Region.

Organisations were able to apply for grants of up to £2,000 to get into the Eurovision spirit by hosting events that celebrate the competition. 63 organisations in total have received funding from nail art classes to hip-hop block parties, allowing people across Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Halton, St Helens and Knowsley to get involved with the celebrations.

The Ukraine Welcome Centre in Crosby will host an exhibition celebrating Ukrainian culture and the Liverpool branch of the Association of Ukrainians will host an event to celebrate the opening of the Liverpool Ukrainian Community Centre and a special screening party for The National Lottery’s Big Eurovision Welcome.
