recovery campaign, is to support locally run projects that can make a quick and tangible change to people\u2019s lives in the Crewe area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know many local organisations are themselves struggling with funding issues due to the pandemic, so this additional injection of support enables them to stay focused on delivery at this critical time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Crewe has been Bentley\u2019s home for more than 75 years, and our relationship with the town is key to who we are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very pleased to be able to make this support available at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zoe Sheppard, CEO of Cheshire Community Foundation, said: &#8220;The whole team at Cheshire Community Foundation is thrilled to support our valued partner Bentley with this

organisations are experts in their field; now they can get on with their work, which is more vital than ever as we come out of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bentley\u2019s generosity and commitment to their home town of Crewe is truly inspiring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-54007\"
