We Have Money! Actual Money!
This is the bit we’re still processing.
Someone looked at our hall, our excitable Cubs, our frantic leaders, and said:
“Yes. £5000 seems appropriate for these people.”
This means we can:
- subsidise uniforms
- pay for transport
- make camp affordable for every single Cub
- and give these kids real adventure, not the budget version
It’s game-changing.
Life-changing.
Now to be clear, we did have a little from HQ. That’s going to buy some flags, some sports kit (You know, balls, stuff to play with) and crafty stuff to burn later…
THIS money is different. We have a local gent who gives grants to deserving community projects. Last year he funded an estate garden clear-up and the Food Bank Christmas drop. Now, he had funded us. He was a Scout back in the day, and went on to become a successful businessman.
What’s better is this. We get this EVERY YEAR for TEN YEARS! Paid from a grants organisation setup in his name. Even better, the money is exclusively to subsidise and fund our kids. This is more than amazing.
All we need now is.. A BANK ACCOUNT.
