The funding will be used to support families who are struggling to pay the monthly fees for their children due to financial constraints.  Our monthly fees are minimal and the only reason we able do this is because of the volunteer coaches, however we are aware of families who are heavily impacted by the increase in the cost of living.  Therefore, this money will be used to take the pressure off identified families as we do not want any child to be excluded from having access to being part of a team and keeping fit mentally and physically.   

Requested Amount: £1000

£300 towards subsidising or fully purchasing football kit for struggling families.  £700 covering or part covering monthly fees for identified families.

We’re continuing to develop our community garden which after a year of development now has raised beds for food-growing for the Village Larder. Our social gardeners successfully grew food from a pop-up for the larder last year whilst developing the community garden. Growing food together is educational, brings people together socially to exercise outdoors. Growing for the larder encourages community engagement and purpose, it provides a source of healthy produce for people on lower incomes. Developing other areas of the garden to provide a restful, communal green space will encourage more volunteer-engagement,and is good for mental and physical health. 

Amount requested: £1,000
