How we’ll spend the money raised
The money raised will be used to purchase additional ground maintenance equipment in order to allow us to maintain the facility in a more efficient manner enabling more time to be spent using the grounds for sporting activities. We have received conditional funding from Sport England which we need to match to allow us to do this.
