Why will this help the community?
Climbing is one of the fastest growing sports. It is one that everyone can do, and because it has a sense of danger and adventure, when mastered even at an elementary level, it requires great self discipline and gives a powerful sense of achievement to the young person. At present 1st Poulner Scout Group runs shooting and archery courses during the summer months only. The Activities room will enable these to take place all year long, at a safe and convenient location. These skills will help young people of Ringwood area develop balance and poise, a sense of responsibility, physical fitness and mental strength to become good citizens.The Project
The project comprises; a room for activities, disabled facilities, toilets and showers and a store room. A separate entrance to the main hall will allow minimal disruption to other activities and maximise access to the facility. A visualisation has been made to get a better idea of the plans for the building.
Fundraising
The total budget for the project is £120,000 of which just over £30,000 has already been raised through donations and fundraising by the scouts and parents. In order to reach our target we are looking to local businesses to sponsor the activity centre and that is where you can help.Over the next year we are organising a programme of events (bag packing at local supermarkets, auctions, quiz nights, social events, an organised run. At each event details of sponsors will be displayed clearly on posters and display boards. They will also appear on our website and press releases sent out before and after each event We anticipate not only being able to position your business as ‘helping the local community’ but also expose its proposition to approximately ten thousand local residents over the next 2 years.
