PLYMOUTH — Speare Memorial Hospital recently awarded The Bridge Project in Lincoln an $8,000 grant for the third consecutive year through the hospital’s Community Health Grant Program.
Speare created the Community Health Grant Program to provide funding to organizations that help Speare accomplish significant results in improving the health of those in central New Hampshire. Each year, the hospital’s board of directors approves funds to support community health initiatives. Last fall, the board approved a total of $75,000 in grant funding to 11 area nonprofit organizations.
The Bridge Project connected people to community resources to empower them to change their lives.
The Speare grant provided mentoring and after-school programs for 10- to 14-year-olds who recently enjoyed a retreat at a local farmhouse, where they engaged in team-building activities, created vision boards, participated in yoga and exercise classes and cooked together.
