Nettleham football ground is in desperate need of support towards a new stand, pitch maintenance, equipment to keep the ground up to spec. The ground supports young youth teams all the way to men’s. We’re also hoping to launch a girls football team and this would require separate changing rooms. This is a community ground that brings the whole village together.

Applying for funding to help purchase two sets of lawn bowls designed for younger players and individuals with disabilities. Standard lawn bowls can be too large or heavy. By providing appropriately sized equipment, we can encourage participation of both younger/disabled individuals to the sport and ensure they can play comfortably and competitively.

We are a local group promoting friendship and gardening in Saxilby. We run monthly meetings and coach trips in the summer which are all open to the wider community. We organise the local Annual Show with entrants aged 4 to 84 and a Plant Sale. All these events are becoming more expensive to run. Extra funding would enable us to continue to provide the village and wider community with these even...

Saxilby Waterfront Working Group was set up in 2017 by the council to improve the Bridge Street Conservation Area, which was on Historic England’s Heritage At-Risk Register. A Masterplan, shaped by public consultation, was created. The Group leads heritage and tourism projects in-line with it, including plans to install interpretation boards in the area.

Being a small rural group we use the Girlguiding UK program to encourage girls to be confident and resilient, through fun activities and badges. As we are spread over a wide area, fund raising is difficult as leaders we are aware of always asking parents for money to take part in outside activities or trips. We try to do adventurous things as well as things local community visits.

Scampton Church of England Primary School is a small, traditional village school providing education to children from Scampton and surrounding villages. We would like to update and install an outdoor educational area to provide hands on, exploratory and discovery opportunities for our younger pupils. The area would beautifully and strategically merge the classroom to a natural environment.

At RAF Ingham we remember the Polish and British airmen and ground crew who served in WW2 and flew from there. We have, after many years hard work, opened our heritage centre telling their story, and the stories of their families who settled here after the war. We are constantly adding to the centre, and are wishing to develop a Reflection Room near the Memorial Garden to remember their sacrifi...

Give the children the option to grow vegetables/flowers to bring them together in a natural environment.
