Without your money we cannot help your local sports clubs/play organisations!
The Cumbria Playing Fields Association must have income of its own so that it can help others!
An annual subscription is made by a large number of Parish Councils in addition to District Councils and the County Council as well as other interested affiliated bodies. Other income may, from time to time, come from other donations.
This money is distributed as grants to associations, clubs etc within Cumbria for specific projects in connection with recreational and playing activities.
How Gilly Park Youth Team Benefitted
Gillford Park Youth FC was awarded £178 to assist in the start up costs of a new team.
