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.
In November 2021 , the National Lottery Awards for All programme awarded us 12-months of funding to support in the sustainability of our successful weekly Youth Project. This will ensure that Young People living in and around Moss Bank will have access to a weekly session from March 2022, where they can make new friends, engage in creative and challenging projects and recreational activities.
Continued to support us from November 2021 , by awarding funding to strengthen our core staff team. We will use this grant to employ a Community Engagement Support Worker who will help to improve our partnership working, project delivery and forward planning as we seek to better respond to community-wide needs.
This grant supports the salary of our Centre Support Worker post until October 2021 . This role is vital in helping to run the community centre to a high standard of efficiency, day to day operations, office work, marketing and publicity, and helping to develop new and existing projects.
In October 2021 , we were kindly awarded Youth Diversion Fund support to deliver activities and events for children and young people during the October half-term period to help make our community safer, stronger and happier!
In July 2021 , The Skelton Charity again generously awarded us capital funds to support our community projects. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the centre formed several new partnerships and launched activities to help improve the health and wellbeing of local people. We needed extra support to purchase furniture so that we could welcome more groups and users back.
In July 2021 , ASDA Foundation awarded us this funding to offer two afternoon tea events for our older adults as a welcome back from the coronavirus pandemic restrictions and lockdowns. The first of these events was held on Thursday 5 th August at our Summer Fun afternoon event and was thoroughly enjoyed by all involved. Here’s to the next one!
