Success with Lottery Application
Report Date 20/10/08
I am really pleased to announce that the Awards for All assessment teams considered our application to be in support of a worthwile project and have awarded us a total of £8300 towards our Group Expansion project.
As part of our planning discussions for the Group we realised some weeks ago that we would have to increase the number of sections to be in a position to offer Scouting to the increasing numbers wanting to join.
We then analysed the financial implications of increasing the number of sections and identified that we would need to:-
- Identify an alternative meeting location for some of the sections
- Find additional leaders and cover the cost of uniform & training
- Purchase books and training resources for the new sections
- Increase our camping and activity equipment
The total cost of these items was estimated to be over £8000 and we concluded our project would meet the criteria of an application under the "Awards for All" Lottery scheme.
