Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
This is the first full year when we have been able to hold some of our traditional fund raising events such as our quiz nights, car show, donkey derby and our Christmas collection following the Covid pandemic. Unfortunately there was no appetite from the local schools to reintroduce the choir competition. We have retained some of our pandemic strategies such as the local lottery, grant applications and a just giving page on our website. |

Para 1.20 | During this financial year we have made local grants totalling £2,966 to local families who we have given emergency help in the form of providing furniture or appliances, and small local charities so they can expand their activities within our borough. We have also contributed £851 to our local Lions Zone projects, supplying computers to schools and funding our Funfest event which is a free day out for families with disabled children. The council grant we received for £3245 is to help fund a project for next year, which is a free Prostate testing day for 250 local men, which will cost in excess of £5,000. |
