Letchworth Garden City Hertitage Foundation's latest report (issued to all homes in the Garden City this weekend) includes mention of new grants from the Foundation to support "sporting excellence".For many years the Foundation has supported the provision of facilities and equipment in the town - we have benefited outselves, with the Foundation contributing to our initial equipment costs back in 2004, as well as being lead sponsors for both the Herts Sevens in 2006 and Canada Day last season.
Now they are offering up to 100% grants to support coaches gaining advanced qualifications (Level 2 and above), as well as 50% grants towards the coaching costs of talented atheletes, and up to £1,000 in equipment costs. Anyone who lives in Letchworth OR who participates in sport in the town is eligible - see the LGCHF site for details.
my god - a town based funding source - i'd give my right arm for something like this. Colour me green.
ReplyDeleteTrying to source funding is one of the biggest nightmares I have.
Yes, Spike, its all about being the World's First Garden City and that. The Foundation are also the landlord for the club!
