Earlier this month I invited applications from local organisations/charities/schools/youth organisations etc for financial help with any specific projects that they might have a problem funding.
I have since then had a relatively small request from the local Haytor View School ( or at least an organisation putting on an event there for local children) and also from Newton Abbot Community Transport for £1100 plus. I am delighted to have been able to help on both these occasions. I still have money to give away…..what a wonderful thing to be able to say, and I hope some Treasurers will be in touch asap. I am hopeful that as a result of the open meeting at the Buckland Community Centre next Tuesday one or two committees will be formed to run two new community-based activities(Good Neighbour Scheme and a local Neighbourhood Watch Scheme) both of which could need cash which I would be happy to find. All that said, if you are the treasurer of a local organisation needing financial help for a good cause, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. ( gordon.hook45@gmail.com or 01626 362070)
