Spreydon-Heathcote Community Funding Committee allocations

Seventy-one different local community organisations including preschools, schools and sports clubs in the Spreydon-Heathcote area benefited from $42,125 worth of funds the Spreydon-Heathcote Community Funding Committee allocated in May.

Sydenham Community Pre-School was one group whose application was successful. They are now able to purchase a carpentry table and tools for their pre-schoolers. "it is great that we can apply for funding for much needed pre-school equipment during economic times when fundraising is always difficult" says Janet Borgfeldt, Supervisor at Sydenham Community Pre-School.

Other groups that have benefited include WOOSH (Waltham Out of School Hours Inc.) which will be able to purchase sports equipment to keep the children attending the programme challenged, and Opawa/St Martins Plunket Sub-Branch, which will now be able to run much needed parenting courses.

The funding was available from 2 different schemes, the Christchurch City Council Community Development Scheme and the Hillary Commission Community Sport Fund. All applications had to meet certain criteria to quality for the funding.

A second funding round for 1997 for non-profit groups in the Spreydon-Heathcote area is coming up in August. Feel free to contact the Community Activities Officer at Beckenham Service Centre regarding any inquiries on 332-3099.
