Thank you to the funders and partners who make our work possible.
As an independent charity, we depend on funding to keep our doors open year in, year out. Here are successful funding bids we have secured. Bids take a long time to put together and maintain — it is a never-ending process of applying and monitoring — but without this vital work, we would not be here.
We want to thank all our funders for their continued support, and the trust they put in Park Farm Community Centre to deliver projects for our community.
We received a generation donation from Amazon in December 2020 in response to our emergency COVID relief efforts and the loss of income we had suffered over the lockdown that year. These funds will be spent on improving our meeting rooms on the first floor, purchasing new equipment, and supporting current social groups.
The Steve Morgan Foundation kindly awarded us a grant in May 2020 during the Coronavirus epidemic to help facilitate our Emergency Food Parcels project and to support us in keeping our building expenses covered whilst we were closed to the public and groups who pay to use our rooms on a weekly basis.
This grant will fund some online safeguarding training for members of staff and some craft packs for children and young people who are isolated at home due to Covid-19 (2020). A project is being prepared to preserve the experiences , thoughts and feelings about life in lockdown which will be preserved in the form of a time capsule which will be buried by the children in the garden of our centre .
LCR Cares awarded a total of £5,000 in May 2020 during the Coronavirus epidemic. Our bid focused on providing our local communities most vulnerable people with emergency food parcels over 6-8 weeks. With help an amazing team of volunteers and staff, we delivered a total of 359 packages, supporting a total of 115 families in an unprecedented time.
