Community Fund
|
|
The Patcham Community Association was formed in 1945 and is a Registered Charity with
two objectives, firstly to run a Community Centre and secondly “to
promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Patcham and the neighbourhood”
in cooperation with other groups in the area. |
| With the opening of
the new Patcham Community Centre about 5 years ago, our first objective
is being well & truly fulfilled, as it is used by upwards of 45
different regular groups, plus many private gatherings during the year.
This means during the year there are over 1,500 bookings, which, if the
prestigious horticultural show & model railway show are included, result
in well over 30,000 attendances. And it is all run by a few volunteers.
(With good assistance & support from our friends at
Brighton & Hove City Council.) |
| In recent years our
finances have improved to an extent that we are now seeking to further
fulfil our second objective by the creation of the Community
Fund, the aim of which is to provide financial assistance to local
groups involved in projects which will bring long term benefits to
groups in the local community. |
| So, if you
are in a local group which is raising funds for a project, to say,
improve facilities for our youngsters, provide adult activities or to
enhance life for senior citizens, we may be prepared to help. |
| Only written applications with fully
costed proposals will be considered and an application package is available for
download/print or by post from the Centre. |
