13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
in 2011 the existing playground at Nomansland Recreation Ground was improved which included the installation of a new tyre swing. Since then, the level of community use at the playground has increased and the number of children enjoying this particular item of equipment has exceeded expectations. As a result it has become difficult to sustain the appropriate provision and maintenance of a loose filled bark pit as a safe fall surface. This project will mean that the equipment will become safer and more sustainable for the future with a surface that will last as long as the swing. The local community will benefit from better quality equipment which will encourage yet more people to the recreation ground with their children to enjoy a healthier lifestyle and recreational choices. Additional resources will be released from the charity maintaining the surface and redirected into providing more sport.

14. How will you monitor this?
Use of resources to maintain the bark pit will cease. Number of users at the recreation ground is reported back to the management committee based on anecdotal experience of the committee members.

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
This is a capital project that requires no ongoing funding

16. Is there anything else you think we should know about the project?
Not applicable

13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
The project is based on the local playing fields at Redlynch and will benefit the local community in a number of ways. It will provide the Colts section of the cricket club, of which there are nearly 100, with a safe environment to play on after rain. It will mean that children in the area will be able to utilise the cricket facilities on the playing fields, as well as ensure that local matches can go ahead. We host games for Wiltshire County Youth Cricket, our own Youth setup and mens teams. Having working covers is a major step in being able to provide a service to young people in the area daily, as we having training and matches most evenings and at the weekends. It will benefit the Girls cricket that takes place at the playing fields and something that we are trying to push forward, but without the proper equipment to keep matches and training on it is hard to keep them interested. We are a Clubmark team and work hard to provided adequate facilities for the community.

14. How will you monitor this?
Reports from coaches and other members of the cricket club. Monitoring youth numbers. Obtaining match reports and scorecards from matches played after rain.

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
It will not. The grant will cover the cost. This is a one-off expenditure.

16. Is there anything else you think we should know about the project?
It does not.

13. Please tell us WHO will benefit and HOW they will benefit from your project benefit your local community?
We envisage that participants will come from all sections of the local area and we actively recruiting all ages to join the training band. We will empower participants in our scheme by helping them learn to play a musical instrument. Participants will then have the skills needed to carry on being involved with music, benefiting both themselves and the wider community. We are encouraging a diverse range of participants in the project and the very act of these people coming together and working like a team will bring the community closer together. Participants in the project will gain skills in their chosen instrument together with an understanding of reading music. We hope that Bash and Blow will empower participants with a desire to continue music making. We envisage that music in local schools and in our wider local community will be boosted with more participation and a greater enthusiasm in musical activities.

14. How will you monitor this?
The band\'s directors will meet regularly to ascertain whether the Training Band is meeting it\'s aims.

15. If your project will continue after the Wiltshire Council funding runs out, how will you continue to fund it?
Downton Band will seek additional funding from other grant giving bodies when larger purchases are needed (for example more instruments). But we envisage that the training band will be going out and performing regularly at local events and will raise money to be self sustaining from these appearances.
