Spalding: Two sports clubs and two schools need votes to win funding

Just over a week remains for Spalding good causes to attract enough online votes to be in with a chance of netting up to £25,000.

Spalding Hockey Club, Spalding Rugby Club, Spalding Parish School and The Garth Special School are among those vying to win funding from The Aviva Community Fund.
People get ten votes simply by registering on the Aviva website at community-fund.aviva.co.uk
The two sports clubs are each trying to secure enough votes to be considered for up to £25,000 whilst the schools are seeking up to £5,000.

• Spalding Hockey Club, based at Glen Park, Surfleet, has more than 300 members and wants a permanent clubhouse to replace the mobile building and toilet it is currently relying on.
  Its bid says: “We have great passion and belief in our club and our desire to succeed both on and off the pitch, but we need your vote so we can finally have a home for our family club.”
• Spalding Rugby Club wants funds to relocate its juniors and minis to land off Drain Bank North, Cowit, as previously reported in The Voice.
  Spalding Parish Day School, in Clay Lake, wants a new outdoor classroom to go alongside new garden areas it is planning.
  Its bid says: “An outdoor classroom will add to the outside environment and be a great space for learning whilst still being able to see the new garden areas.”
• The Garth Special School, in Pinchbeck Road wants to buy gardening equipment to assist its 16 to 19 year olds with a mini enterprise project, growing and selling produce.

The Aviva Community Fund will finance over 800 projects across four different fund levels and six categories throughout the UK.
Projects with the most votes will go before a panel of judges. Voting closes at noon on Friday, November 18.
