Area Board Intergeneration Project Funding

At Salisbury Area Board meetings during March & May 2020, a total of £5000.00 was set aside from the youth budget for an Intergenerational Project. 

Following this, a project brief was created, and applicants were invited to submit proposals by the end of September 2020. Three proposals were received. 

 

On 9th November a panel featuring Cllr Ricky Rogers, Irene Kohler (Older Peoples Champion, Helen Dowse (Carers Champion) and members of our youth panel interviewed the applicants. The Panels recommendation that the £5000.00 funding be awarded to Salisbury Museum (project detailed in attached papers).

 

The Board is asked to approve the recommendation for funding.

 

The Board considered the applications for funding as detailed in the agenda pack. Applicants present were invited to give a brief overview of their projects, followed by an opportunity for questions.

 

Community Area Grants:

 

Hampworth Croquet Club – requested £5,000

The applicant Stephen Bennett spoke in support of the project.

 

Questions:

·       How many members did you have? Answer: Approx. 60

·       What fundraising had taken place? Answer: We had been applying for funding and were successful with £1k from Persimmons Homes, Membership fees brough in £3500, and crowd funding supported by sports England. Also applied to Southern Wilts AB which also allocated £5000. Had approached PC however, had not had much joy in communicating with them. 

·       Why had there been a change in the lawn care situation? Answer: The previous system was for all of our funds to be handed over to the landlord in return for maintenance. That arrangement had ended and now there was a new regime where we must maintain the lawn ourselves.

·       The club was outside of our community area. Should be down to the PC as well.

·       You are equidistant to Southampton, so I suggest you also look further afield to provide some support.

·       There were only 2 clubs that offered this across the whole of Wiltshire, there must be quite a few of our residents who partake. Happy to support some level of funding.

·       Cllr Dean - £5k was a generous amount from Southern AB. As there were only 50 – 60 members, it was likely half would be from the Salisbury area. I propose £1000. This was seconded by Cllr Rogers.
