We are delighted that the Social and Active on Mondays (SAM) project has received funding to pay for hire of the large community room in the Pastures Centre, plus a contribution towards the cost of refreshments.
This means that the three table tennis tables, football table and pool table, plus a variety of family games and board games, can continue to be provided for people from all parts of the community to be active, enjoy conversation and make new friends.
Christine Sandford coordinated the bid submission on behalf of Our Pastures.
‘Social and Active on Mondays’ aims to strengthen the sense of community and belonging in the neighbourhood. As Christine wrote in the bid: ‘It helps to reduce social isolation, teach new skills to all ages and create an atmosphere where residents can thrive and build supportive networks. We aim to promote the Pastures Centre as not simply a sports hall, but also a centre of the local community.’
Thanks and congratulations to Christine!
