Projects Funded Outcome Achieved £££ Awarded

ARCHERY FOR ALL- AL KAIR SECONDARY SCHOOL This archery club made an application for some new archery stands £400.00 for the community club that runs weekly in every Wednesday evening from 7-9pm at Al-Khair Secondary School 109- 117 Cherry Orchard Road CR0 6BE

EAST CROYDON COMMUNITY ORGANISATION Children from the ages of 5 to 14 chose from football, goal ball or £1579.99 crafts activities and many took part in all three. More than half the accompanying adults filled in feedback forms. All stated that they would attend a similar event. Most met new people and found about other activities while they were there. They said things like "this has been fantastic", "everything was great" and "the volunteers were very helpful and friendly".

The rest of the funding will be used to put on an event for all ages at Tunstall Nursery School on 14 September 2019. A variety of craft and forest school activities will be offered, plus free healthy snacks.

ELITE DEVELOPMENT FC - COMMUNITY FOOTBALL PROGRAMME The purpose of the grant was to set up a programme for girls. We £2,500.00 already have a successful programme for boys. We already have over 30 girls signed up. We want to get this number up to 90. We are now providing free water and this is appreciated by both the girls and their parents. We are asking primary schools in and neighbouring wards to promote the club. We would like more support from this direction.

Elite Development FC has been chosen by both the FA and FA to run their Croydon Borough SSE Wildcats Centre. Excitingly, we have recently formed a partnership with Crystal Palace FC to run their girls’ football programme. SOLID ROCK ACADEMY Funding has been used to purchase indoor basketball hoops. £4,500 .00 Participation has increased dramatically, particularly among girls. Young people who previously could not find a basketball club now can access basketball at a very low cost. Most importantly for the club leadership, young people who have never previously played sport can participate in a relaxed environment.

Since then we had immense increase of participants. What is amazing we never used to attract females now we have over ten girls. Also people who could not find a basket club now can access basketball at a very low cost. Most importantly for us people who never played basketball and

sport can come in a non-pressure atmosphere and participate.

SPEED VISORS ON DAVIDSON ROAD Councillors appreciate the high demands on local police and but £10,000.00 wish to put in place a visible deterrent for reducing speed and one that may collect speed data that may be provided to the local police and other authorities for analysis
