written by on September 2nd, 2011 and filed in Grant News

At the meeting of the Trustees on 14th August 2011 17 Grant Applications were considered. All the requests were measured against the criteria of the Charity’s objectives and public benefit in the communities of Haddenham and surrounding areas. The following 12 applications were approved and Grants totalling just short of £17,500 were agreed and committed.

Beneficiary Applications Approved

Cancer Care and Haematology Unit: £500 Wooden Spoon Unit Project being supported by Towersey Morris Men

Aylesbury Vale Youth Theatre: £1,500 to stage annual production (covering insurance costs etc).

Thame Citizens Advise Bureau: £1,200 to cover mandatory CA books and insurance.

Uchira Schools Link: £150 towards costs of local fundraising event

Ladybird Pre-school: £500 for soft play equipment

Haddenham Summer School (playscheme): £350 for equipment hire.

Haddenham & District Age Concern: £5,000 to part fund a Summer Trip to the Isle of Wight for a group of over 65’s

Tom’s Trust: £100 to cover costs of refreshments for fundraising event in the village hall.

Haddenham Parish Council: £250 to replace bench at bus stop in Woodways.

Haddenham in Transition: £400 for equipment and insurance.

Haddenham Prostate Fund: £460 for equipment and materials for stall at the Oxfordshire show.

Upward Bound Trust: £7,000 to repair training glider (replace skin).

Two applications were given approval once further information had been obtained, these are:

Haddenham Table Tennis Club: £1.000 to replace flooring. The Committee want to ensure that this does not fall within the remit of the Parish Council before funding.

Haddenham Library: An amount to be confirmed to be used  towards running costs once funding from council is lost. The Committee approved funding in principle but will revisit once the extent of the support required is known.

There we unfortunately 3 applications that had to be rejected a follows:

Steeple Claydon Drama Society Christmas Play: £1,000. This request was declined as the project has no visible links to Haddenham and the surrounding areas which is required in order for the committee to be able to approve.

Sarah Bishop: Funding medical placement in Sydney, Australia. This request was declined as it is not within HBFT remit to fund education costs for private individuals.

Asthma Relief: Various levels of funding for Asthma equipment. This request was declined as this is a countrywide project that has no specific links to Haddenham. It would be considered if a direct application for equipment was made by a resident in our area or their Doctor.

The next quarterly meeting of the Trustees to discuss Grant applications will be on Sunday 13th November 2011. All new applications should be submitted via the Application Form on the Beneficiaries page on the website by Tuesday 8th November 2011.
