On behalf of Stonnall Community Centre Trust I would like to express my gratitude to the Parish Council for their generous grants. The Trust received a substantial grant in February that will cover the cost of insurance and Council tax. It will also greatly assist the Trust with the high cost of electricity and will help the Community groups that use the centre by keeping their costs to a minimum.
The Council also provided a grant that enabled the Trust to commemorate the Coronation of King Charles. The Trust decorated the Centre and showed the televised event live on the Cinema screen. The event was very well attended, and everyone enjoyed the impressive buffet. Without the help of the Parish Council the Community Centre would not have been able to mark this historic event.
Emergency Grant
The Trust has several pieces of equipment that enable it to show a film each month in the village, the equipment is also available for other groups to use if they so wish. Unfortunately, the Projector suffered a catastrophic failure and needed to be replaced as a matter of urgency. Once again, the Parish Council, through an emergency grant application agreed to assist in the cost of the replacement. The projector has already been put into use at the scheduled Cinema Club and at SCAR’s AGM with a power point presentation
I would like to add my personal thanks to each and every member of the Parish Council for their support over the past year, through their support the village of Stonnall continues to enjoy a well-used facility.
