The Heritage Lottery Fund required that for the final bid to be successful, there had to be a financial commitment from the various communities who would benefit from a successful project outcome.
The requirement was that £125,000 was raised as community funding.
The South Cliff Community Group led by David Auton became the driving force behind this. Hundreds of leaflets were posted through letterboxes by an army of volunteers. David coordinated the fund raising and also acted as PR officer becoming the face of the project – giving radio and TV interviews.
The South Cliff Community Group have done an amazing job.
Without them the final bid for this project would have been impossible.
Thank you!
