KINGSLEY Playing Field Enhancements have secured £50,000 funding towards improvements to playing fields in the village.
The money – awarded by WREN’s FCC Community Action Fund – will provide a new pathway, access improvements and the provision of an outdoor gym.
Similar grants were made to three other communities across Cheshire West and Chester.
The grants will assist in helping to support and deliver community projects, making a huge difference to neighbourhoods.
A not-for-profit organisation, WREN awards grants to community, environmental and heritage projects across the UK from funds donated by FCC Environment to the Landfill Communities Fund.
Cllr Louise Gittins, Cheshire West and Chester Council’s lead member for Culture, Leisure and Wellbeing, said: “It is fantastic that WREN has awarded four of our communities grant funding to assist in delivering local projects. I am really looking forward to see how these projects are taking shape over the next few months.”
Richard Smith, senior grant manager for WREN said: “WREN is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that benefit local communities and these are great examples of projects that can be undertaken.”
WREN offer funding opportunities to communities to apply for both FCC Community Action Funds and FCC Biodiversity Action Fund, more information about this can be found by visiting; http://www.wren.org.uk/apply
