I am a mum trying to help a local charity find funds to do up a fairly large area of wasteland
so that our children and familys can enjoy the space rather than avoid it. I am looking for suggestions or advice about how to find a source of funding.
We want to plant some trees, plants and shrubs and have some street lighting on some footpaths so that we cross the area at night. The kids want a area for stunt biking and skateboarding.
We also want a trim trail of some sort to help the overall health of the area but really we just want to see something nice that's safe and that the whole community can sit in and enjoy, so i suppose we need park banches as well.
The charity organiser has rough costs in the region of £300,000..... phew a lot of money but he says it will cost at least that. I can find plenty funds that will give grants between £5,000 and £10,000 but i am trying to find one that will give us a large portion of the cost.
Can any one help me?
Thanks
H MACLAINE
