Grants

1^st Sandleheath Sea Scout Group are very grateful to all those organisations that have provided us with grants to assist in the running of the group and the provision of the equipment. This page acknowledges recent grants that we have received.

Kumho Tyres

Thanks to Fordingbridge Tyre & Battery we received a donation from Kumho Tyres' "Cash for Causes " in 2012.  We used the money to buy some additional tents: Vango Force 10s for static camps and some lightweight tents for D. of E. expeditions.  You can also read about this on the Kumho Cash for Causes blog .

In 2011 we received a grant of £10,000 for the purchase of safety boats. Two boats plus engines have been purchased at a cost of £8,769. The remainder of the grant will be spent on safety equipment for the boats, including VHF radios.

BIG Lottery Fund

In 2011 we received a grant of £5,935 to improve the acoustics in the main hall. This has been used to purchase the sound absorbing boards. The boards have now been fitted and everyone is delighted with the improvement.
