We would like to develop the area for forest school, allowing the family learning programme to continue, with den making, outdoor cooking and growing.  The following items would be required: Outdoor tarpaulens £100, den-making kit £120, discovery table £250, explorer kits £150, outdoor cooking equipment £180, outdoor storage £200.  This would allow the pupils to utilise these facilities in their learning and in their playtime.  In addition, with coordination from the eco group and family learning, they will be able to continue with learning for sustainability and allowing parents/ carers and siblings to access these lessons as after school workshops.  These have been very successful in the past at bringing our school community together, but requires some additional funding for the resources.  Unfortunately, some our outdoor features were vandalised recently and now need to be secured in outdoor storage.

The cost of the trip is £449.00 per person which includes Transport, Accommodation on half board basis.  We have 16 boys and 4 coaches signed up along with an additional 19 family members who are making the trip to support the boys.  The total cost of the trip for the team is £8980.00 plus £8531.00 for the additional family members. It is our intention to fundraise to reduce the total cost for families to make this affordable and inclusive to all.  The current cost of living crisis makes it increasingly difficult for community groups to raise funds to create these opportunities.

Most of the boys have already been supplied with a new kit, but being able to expand the team further, giving more children the opportunity to join a community team, we would need to supply kit to an extra 5 kids at a cost of £105 per person, totalling £525. This means all of the boys will match at tournaments and in playing within the leagues. Across the winter we would also like to be able to book all weather pitches or indoor facilities to allow training to continue without extra costs to our families. This will cost £120 per month, November to February, at a cost of £480. In total, we would request £1000 to cover all costs.
