Children's writing project Grimm and Co wins "Big" with £250k grant

A FANTASTICAL fiction workshop has received a budget boost worth over quarter of a million pounds.

Rotherham charity Grimm and Co received £254,776 from the Big Lottery Fund last week.

The literacy project aims to foster a love of reading and writing through creative fiction and drama skills workshops.

The charity is currently turning a town centre pub into a shop for magical beings, which will double as a secret children’s writing studio.
