Funding towards a Social Outing with Transport and catering for residents

As a Group of Retired Residents we meet socially and try to keep active arranging social activities internally and many charity fundraising events over many years. We would like to treat our residents to a day / afternoon out with a lunch or afternoon tea supplied. However as the prohibitive cost of coaches and mini buses make this an impossibility we would ask you to consider us in your purusal of your funding.

Who Benefits

Our residents and some friends who support us at all our charity events would benefit from this time out in friendship and improve their mental health and wellbeing getting out and about. It would be a real treat for us all. Our small community here in Waverley Court has raised many thousands of £ over the years for Erskine, Cancer Research, MacMillan, and CHAS Robin House. Therefore it would be of great benefit to all residents to receive something in return for their hard work. A lot of folks think we are an old folks home but we are not. Independent Living in our own flats is crucial to us and our central hub in the town has some credible events. Thank You for considering our application and we do hope if we are successful to go on a summer outing which would be a real treat.
