Decision details

This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Fund Programme.

An application for community funding has been received from the Portchester Civic Society, for the sum of £406.80 to purchase a replacement projector.

This charity holds monthly meetings as well as exhibitions at Portchester Parish Hall, to educate the public in the history and natural history of the area and secure the conservation of these assets.  The average attendance of the Society’s meetings numbers 60 members and visitors, and the current projector is frequently used to assist with presentations, in addition to being available to borrow by the group’s members.

In addition to providing an interest group for the local community to attend, the profits that the Society has made from previous projects have been donated to AFC Portchester to support their floodlighting appeal.

At the close of September 2017, the Society had £3,798.28 in funds. 

Cllr Price and Cllr Fazackarley have both indicated their support for this application.  No response has been received from Cllr Cunningham.

That the application for £406.80 from Fareham Borough Council’s Community Fund submitted by the Portchester Civic Society to purchase a replacement projector be approved.
