Grants Awarded
2005 |
| |
| A
small skate park was built in 2004 on the playing fields
in Stonnall, near Lichfield, after young people requested the
facility. They did some fundraising themselves and the Playing
Field Association also gave a grant. With our donation they
were able to buy the first piece of equipment. A local experienced
skater helped with the design. This is an on-going project for
the youngsters of Stonnall. |

| Good
Start Nursery in Brownhills is a charitable Children's
Day Nursery, providing local working families with excellent
daycare facilities. We are very pleased to be able to help them
towards the cost of a new part time Nursery Nurse to cover the
busy lunchtime period. |

Aldridge
425 Air Cadets. We are delighted to give a donation
towards the cost of a new minibus. Transport is a vital to the
work the Cadets undertake each year from helping out at numerous
community events like Rosie's Walk, as well as working towards
their Duke of Edinburgh Awards and training events/courses at
RAF bases.

| Hothouse
at Redhouse in Aldridge holds activities for local
children and young people during evenings, weekends and holidays.
The small outdoor patio has undergone a refurbishment enabling
the space to be used as a rest and play area. This is a suntrap
during the summer so Rosie's Helping Hands gave a donation towards
the cost of a large canopy to protect the users of the garden
from the sun. |
