The city of London issued the following news release:
The City of London Corporation's charity, City Bridge Trust, has
awarded Ealing based Centre for Armenian Information & Advice (CAIA)
Pounds90,000 towards its information and advice services.
CAIA provides advice and support to ethnic Armenians living in London,
many coming from conflict areas, and CAIA is the only specialist
provider for this community in Europe.
The grant will help the charity to meet the increasing demand for
advice resulting from recent changes to welfare rules, legal aid and
housing benefit.
Misak Ohanian, CEO of Centre for Armenian Information & Advice said:
"This is tremendous news which means that a vital service that many
disadvantaged and marginalized people rely on has been safeguarded
for the next three years."
Billy Dove, Chairman of City Bridge Trust said:
"Centre for Armenian Information & Advice deals with 13,000 visits
as well as 10,000 inquiries every year. This grant means it will
continue to provide a great service for London's Armenian community
and enhance their independence."
City Bridge Trust is the grant-making arm of Bridge House Estates,
whose sole trustee is the City of London Corporation. It supports
London's charities and provides grants totalling around Pounds15
million per year.
