The Trustees have continued their considerable support in encouraging the development and the growth of hockey across England, and various sports in Milton Keynes.
Funding has been given to hockey clubs throughout the country. Support has been given, amongst other things, for the replacement of pitches that have come to the end of their useful life, together with the provision of new pitches.
In addition help has been provided towards the costs of floodlighting and changing room developments.
In the Milton Keynes area the Trustees have been able to assist different organisations. The provision of an award to Action 4 Youth to assist them to fund a second Yurt village for the use of children and young people is worthy of special note.
Whilst funds remain available, the Trustees will endeavour to continue to ensure a fair allocation of grants to those projects that fully meet the Trust’s objectives to enable growth in a sport and particularly the opportunity to ensure young people have a chance to enter a sport.
The Trustees will not consider applications that are aimed at elite development or that do not provide long term legacy opportunities.
Whilst it is not the intention of the Trustees to make these too onerous, they have noticed a growing tendency for grantees not to follow the conditions imposed when accepting an award and to appear reluctant to keep the Trustees informed of progress of the project. The Trustees require that grantees meet or exceed any conditions that may be imposed and agreed at the time of making an award.
