Grassroots Sussex Community Foundation Grant



We have managed to secure a £5,000 grant from the Grassroots Sussex Community Foundation. This grant has been awarded to help cover our running costs. This grant is most welcome indeed and we of course cannot thank enough the foundation for their generosity. It is not easy task running the club and it is quite surprising how quickly the money gets swallowed up. We are most grateful.
