OSCOTT YOUNGSTERS SET TO BENIFIT FROM COMMUNITY FUNDING

At the Oscott Ward Committee meeting last night the 3 Oscott Councillors Barbara Dring, Graham Green and myself, agreed with recommendations from the Oscott Ward Advisory Board and have now given Community Chest funding out to a number of worthy groups.

Youngsters in Oscott have done well out of the Community Chest this year.

10 thousand punds has been given to support Constituency youth projects FOR OSCOTT YOUNGSTERS.
also
2 thousand pounds has been given to the Maryvale Youth Group to help fund activities and youth developent. sport and so on.

Base K/S have received 2 and a half thousand pounds to help with their youth advisory work.

The Elim Church has received 2 thousand pounds for young peoples activities like trips, indoor and out door activities and so on.

The Trehurst Youth Club have received 2 and a half thousand pounds

There have also been smaller amounts given to groups to help young people in the Oscott Ward.

Clearly given the limitations in funding the Oscott Ward Committee would have liked to have given much more but I feel we have done our best to support youngsters in the area. I would also like to thank all those Community representatives and voluntary organisations who worked so hard to help come up through the Oscott Ward Advisory Board with their recommendations.
