This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Fund Programme.
An application for community funding has been received from the Little Terrors Play Group for the sum of £4,394 to fund the initial set-up, equipment and materials for the Group. Little Terrors is a mother and toddler group that has recently established in a trial capacity at Broadlaw Community Space in Fareham South, in response to local need.
Since its first session in May 2018, attendance has steadily increased and the Play Group currently attracts on average 10 parents and 15 children.
The cost of providing equipment for the Play Group has been costed at £3,186. Running costs for the first year, including rent, insurance and administration bring the total requested to £4,394. The Play Group has already successfully secured £500 from the Partnership Foundation to cover the cost of further necessary equipment, and is confident that in the long-term attendance fees will fully cover running costs.
Both Ward Councillors, Councillor Barton and Councillor Fazackarley, are fully supportive of this application.
That the application for £4,394 from Fareham Borough Council’s Community Fund, submitted by the Little Terrors Play Group, be approved.
