As our academy numbers grow substantially post COVID we are needing to replace our boards more often, these boards are very expensive and we go through a large amount throughout the year. We strongly believe that no child should go with out so we would like to purchase some darts that the youths can borrow whilst at the academy as well as more stems, flights, rings etc. We would also like to purchase some academy darts shirts for those that can't afford them so no child feels 'left out'.

The sewing machines we have been using are old and well used.  Unfortunately, we have some machines in need of repair which would cost too much.  Our group is well attended by users and non-users alike.  The funds we are requesting are to purchase new sewing machines and equipment for the group.  This will allow us to continue to provide sewing advice and training for the community.  Not only this we provide opportunities for people to come together to socialise, participate in group and individual activities and also promote good mental wellness.
