Eileen Hewer Community Fund
Every year, the Eileen Hewer Community Fund awards grants to groups and organisations working for the benefit of the Lawley community and its residents.
The Fund is supported by charge payers’ contributions and forms part of the Lawley stewardship agreement. In 2017, the Lawley Management Committee renamed the Community Fund in honour of Eileen Hewer, a much-loved local resident who sadly passed away in 2016 after many years of dedicated community service in Lawley.
