ON Friday 3 July, at 3pm, Forest Heath District Council will be
issuing Community Grant Cheques to two local organisations. Cllr
Stephen Edwards, Chairman of the Community Grants Working Group,
will be presenting the cheques to The Voluntary Network and The
Rainbow Mother and Toddler group.
The Large Grant Award, of £2000, will be presented to The
Voluntary Network, who plan to use the money to raise their profile
in Mildenhall and Brandon. They hope to start monthly drop in
sessions, which will provide an opportunity, not only for new
volunteers to have individual interviews in their own towns, but
also allow the Network to provide support to existing volunteers in
those areas.
The Small Grant Award, of £250, will be presented to The Rainbow
Mother and Toddler Group, who are based in Barton Mills. They are
planning to use their grant to purchase new outdoor equipment, such
as baby swings and water play apparatus. This will enable them to
increase the range of activities for their members. Parents and
children who attend The Rainbow Mother and Toddler Group will be
present at Friday’s Presentations.
