It’s really important to us that we invest in our local communities. Did you know in 2022-23, £51,956.80 of grant funding was awarded to various community investment projects? This year, we want you to help us decide where this funding is spent.
When we receive a community investment grant (CIG) application, we want you to tell us whether you think we should support the local project or not.
We have received an application from Abbeycroft Leisure. They have applied for £5,000 to put towards the running of their Family Park Cooking sessions in 2025 which you can find out more about here.
Adults and children participate in an amazing, unique experience centred around a cooking master class. Every family attending will take home the ingredients and recipe cards for a week’s worth of meals.
The activities and sessions are provided free of charge for children and young people who are entitled to free school meals and/or meet other eligibility criteria.
Abbeycroft Leisure currently focus on the most vulnerable children and families. Including; families of children identified by pupil premium support and free school meals, families of children who are young carers, children in care, fostered children and children with disabilities, SEND children and those that are vulnerable and at risk of exploitation.
Last year, Abbeycroft Leisure also included any of our residents who wished to attend these sessions and are looking to extend the invite again in 2025.
