Parish Council Awarded Lottery Grant for Multi-Use Games Area

The Parish Council is very pleased to report that it has been awarded a grant from the National Lottery Awards for All Programme towards the cost of installing a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). The MUGA will be sited at Broadwindsor School and will provide a safe, inclusive place for everyone from across the whole Grouped Parish area, to enjoy sport, meet people and have fun.

In partnership with Broadwindsor School, the project has already received funding from the Parish Council, West Dorset District Council and from the FMR Trust and is well on its way to meet its target. However, we do need to do a little bit more and with this in mind, we would like to invite the community to get involved and help. If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to set up your own fundraising event, please do get in touch.
