13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
The project will support approximately 200 older people through presentations and publicity undertaken. Using criteria to identifying those most at risk she will be providing intensive one to one support to an additional 15 older, vulnerable people in the area. Operating November 2013 until March 2014, intensive support will be provided to these clients to ensure that they can stay warm, healthy and engaged at a time when they are at their most vulnerable. The journey starts with a visit in their home, tailored to an individual’s specific needs this might include a look at how they can save money on their energy bills including giving plenty of practical energy saving tips for around the house. By providing regular follow up contact (usually weekly but always during bad weather) throughout winter to ensure that they have the security & support they need to stay healthy & warm. This on-going support can range from something as simple as arranging for essential shopping during a particularly icy period to something as complex as arranging transport to a medical appointment after a heavy snowfall. In addition, they will be undertaking promotional activity throughout the area highlighting the importance of staying warm, well and active which will be targeted specifically to the over 60’s. Through a combination of presentations at local clubs and events and articles in local publications I will provide sound information and advice about staying warm and healthy and who to contact for additional support.

14. How will you monitor this?
Monitoring information will be gathered monthly as part of the normal GNS systems. The following quantitative information will be collected: • Number of intensive support clients signed up • Number of contacts with these clients • Equality & diversity demographics • Categories of enquiries received • Agencies and number of referrals made • Additional emergency support provided • Number of presentations given • Number of articles published Over the 4 month period of the project we will deliver the following outcomes: Clients feel better able to keep their homes warm Clients feel better informed about keeping their home warm Clients feel better supported during winter (especially during bad weather) Clients feel better able to access the services they need Clients feel they are able to maintain their social activities

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
Additional on-going funds will not be needed for this work. This is a time limited project that will run during the winter months (2013/2014) only. The Winters Journey work is an additional service on top of the general core Good Neighbour Service and therefore funded entirely separately.

16. Is there anything else you think we should know about the project?

13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
Sherston Magna CC provides the cricketing focus for Sherston and 10 surrounding villages (Luckington, Sopworth, Didmarton, Badminton, Hullavington, Norton, Shipton Moyne, Grittleton, Alderton, Westonbirt & Leighterton). These villages have limited access to cricket facilities and we would like the club to become a major focal point for cricket in this area. Our Saturday side has just been promoted to the CDCA Div1, we have a Sunday side which plays a full programme of friendly fixtures and a Junior section with over 50 members and a burgeoning Ladies side. Our U13 team had their first league season this year and next year our aim is to also enter an U11 and U15 teams.This has been partly achieved as we have recently acquired the services of two qualified coaches, a grade 2 and grade 4 coach, who as an ex England International brings added experience which enthuses our growing membership.Their commitment and involvement has increased our junior membership and raised expectations. We wish to build on their enthusiasm and show our own commitment as a club to building new training facilities. The new facilities will not only enhance our junior section, the aim is also to encourage new members who haven't played for sometime or those who have not played at all. We would hope these facilities would help stop the frustrating leak of talented 14-18 year olds and young adults who have either moved to clubs further away with better facilities or given up cricket all together.They need the ability to train and continue playing cricket and become part of our senior sides.These new facilities should help the club grow to its full potential and harness the enthusiasm that appears to blossoming throughout all levels. Our project has the backing of the Club's landowner, the Parish Council, our local County Councillor and along with the wider community.

14. How will you monitor this?
We will be able to measure the effect of this scheme by increased membership and subsequent increased usage of the ground and training facilities. Attaining the aspiration of fielding two new junior sides and a new Ladies side. We would hope this would lead onto success for all our teams in the future.

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
As this is a one off Capital Project we would anticipate that any additional costs would be purely maintenance and with new facilities we will increase our membership fees to cover any ongoing maintenance costs. Each year we have a surplus of funds and would commit to further fundraising if the facilities needed further work. This is an eagerly anticipated project and the club is completely committed to achieving our goal and maintaining it for years to come.

16. Is there anything else you think we should know about the project?

5. Project title?
St. Mary\'s Hall Malmesbury Loft Insulation

6. Project summary:
The Hall is used by a wide variety of community groups - mostly children\'s groups, because charges are at an affordable rate. However, the Hall is very cold in the winter and heating bills are substantial, especially with recent price rises. One main reason for this is because there is little insulation in the Hall\'s roof void. This project is to purchase insulation and, with volunteers from our local community, to insulate the loft void to make the Hall warmer for users - to save on heating bills so charges can remain affordable and to promote the environment by saving fuel and reducing our carbon emission.

13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
St. Mary’s Hall is the only community venue in Malmesbury that is currently affordable for many local groups and individuals. Per annum over 800 plus people use the Hall to meet or to participate in an event. Those using the Hall over the winter months will benefit from the insulation preventing some heat loss through the Hall roof. Insulation of the loft will mean reduced heating bills and assist in our desire to keep charges for use of the Hall at a reasonable level, which is of benefit to all users. Additionally the Hall is very cold in winter, even with heating and it is important particularly with regard to those who are more vulnerable healthwise, such as the disabled, elderly, infirm and the young- particularly PreSchool children, that a reasonable temperature is maintained. Additionally, insulation is an environmentally friendly and economic method of our reducing our carbon footprint which is of benefit to all.

14. How will you monitor this?
The use of the Hall is ongoing. Utility bills should reflect the effect of the insulation and users will feel the benefit during the winter months.

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
This is a one off project, which is unlikely to need to repeating for some years.

16. Is there anything else you think we should know about the project?
N/A
