Who received Växjö Charity funding 2018
And the funding goes to…
Micke Svensson at Växjö Charity and CEO at Creon tells us – ‘The Växjö Charity Foundation received many applications from individuals and organizations hoping to receive funding for their projects. We were amazed with the level, variation and the extent of voluntary projects in and around Växjö. Fantastic groups and individuals, all of them. It was a difficult choice, but, in the end, we decided to share this year’s funding between three groups – Ensemble Cor, Kvinnojouren Blenda and Öster i samhället. We are satisfied with our choice and we think that all three recipients make a fantastic contribution to the community.’

Ensemble Cor
A special blend of music
Ensemble Cor is a group of 25 people with functional disabilities who have been active in the community with their special blend of music, theatre and dance entertainment.

We believe
Our customers are medium to large Swedish and International companies who are leaders in their fields and who have discovered how media in the form of physical branded items can enhance how their brand message is perceived, communicated and understood.
We believe that branded items can be a powerful force when a company or organization wishes to promote engagement in particular activities, generate a positive sense of belonging and keep its brand message clearly alive and visible.
