EDF Funding
One off payment of £10,000 available. Pamela Duddin has made contact regarding Trimdon Grange Play Park and is awaiting a response.  Margaret has also made contact regarding the play day at Trimdon Grange.  It is essential that ideas for further funding initiatives are explored to ensure that this money is not lost.

There are to be further monies made available in future years of £5,200pa.  This could be used to fund further projects that have previously been discussed e.g. for a ground source heat pump or money to enable the Thursday night club to have transport to get to and from events. Lucy Hovvels to see if there is any funding available for this.

NB EDF Funding is available for The Trimdons’ and also Town Kelloe.
