Charities
Now that all the bills and income has nearly been finalised it looks as if we will have about £12,700 to distribute, including a small balance unallocated from last year. The problem the Committee had was that if we gave everyone what they had asked for we would have needed £24,354. Some applications are asking for a single item and some give us a shopping list, so we started by deciding we wouldn’t give anything to two applications as they got funds last year, we then gave funds to those who had asked for one item and then distributed the rest so everybody got something, most got 25-30% of their total.
As Statexcolourprint didn’t charge for the programmes we gave £600 on their behalf to Tiny Lives, similarly we gave £100 to the Willowburn Trust on behalf of Eldiss who loaned the truck for the stage. In recognition of the work done by the Nexus apprentices we have given £250 to St Oswalds Hospice, the Nexus charity of the year. We have also given £1,000 to the flood appeal of Tynedale RFC.
Other charities benefiting are – Better Days, brush cutter and charger for gardening project – Northumberland Theatre Co, signer for a production – Twisting Ducks Theatre Co, padded dance mat – Riding Mill Village Trust, community centre refurbishment – Hospitality & Hope, CCTV equipment for soup kitchen & foodbank – Silverline Memories, portable defibrilator – Useful Vision, hire of Calvert Trust for activity day – Chilli Studios, production costs of newsletter – Friends of Stamfordham Play Park, toddler play equipment – Equal Arts, 3 activity sessions – Search, summer trip for old people – Streetwise , pop up tent for outdoor activities – MS Benmar House, art club supplies – Origin Sports, fitness equipment .
