FREE MONEY
We get great feedback for the sessions we run in schools and keep hearing from school communities - parents, teachers and other creative carers who would love to get us in but simply can’t afford it.
At £300 for one of our half day sampler sessions or £750 for a full on STEAM Co. Day with 20 or so activities we’re told we aren’t expensive but it still adds up.
Well here’s an idea…
As part of their 25th Celebrations, The National Lottery have announced a grant fund offering grants of up to £1,000 to just about anyone with an idea to run a day to bring their community together.
You don’t have to be a charity or an organisation to get the money, just get two people together (who aren’t related) and apply. Or do it through your organisation like the scouts, a footy club or model railway society.
It takes 10 minutes tops - your name and details, a short description of the idea you have an a few lines saying what you’ll spend the money on. Done. Sorted. They’ll then enter you into the draw and let you know pretty soon if you’ve won or not.
The Lottery you don’t have to pay to enter.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
You could run a street party
Or a family fun day like the one we helped run below at Mandale Mill Primary.
We’ll come up and do a talk, set up the kit to run the activities and fire off a real dynamite rocket.
