Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway to announce £350k funding boost for Multicultural Cumbria
Tomorrow night, during Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Stephen Mulhern will announce the £350,000 grant for Multicultural Cumbria from the National Lottery.
The charity is planning to use the funding to appoint staff and move forward with ambitious plans including creating the first multicultural centre in Carlisle.
In the virtual audience tomorrow will be Tina Borgia who runs the Dance Carousel Around the World Project for Multicultural Cumbria. Viewers will see TV presenter Stephen Mulhern surprise Tina with the announcement of the "life-changing" cash.
The charity says the money will be used to employ four part-time staff and help drive plans to set up a community centre for events and meetings.
There are also plans for an international cuisine project and an international arts event.
The charity says this announcement is a sign of things moving forward in Cumbria.
Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is on ITV at 7pm on Saturday.
