Used by many children in the Parish, the Prout Bridge Project are fundraising on CrowdFunder to buy, kit out and staff an outreach vehicle – so that they can take the Prout Bridge Project out and about within Beaminster and the surrounding villages (including Broadwindsor, Drimpton, Marshwood, Mosterton and Salway Ash).
They have a £20,000 target which they are hoping to raise within the month of April 2021. This is an all or nothing campaign – if they don’t reach the target, they don’t get a penny & your donation will automatically be returned to you. Here is a 3 minute video to tell you more about their Reaching Out Fundraiser and how your donation will help:

Their vision is that the Prout Bridge Centre building becomes a thriving and welcoming place for the whole community to share and enjoy, where people can come to chat, make friends, participate and get help and advice.
Their objectives are to:
-
Offer an inclusive, affordable and varied programme of activities, so that people of all ages in Beaminster and the surrounding area feel they have access to fulfilling things to do, including arts, music, crafts, sport, dance, fitness, learning, culture and heritage, with a particular focus on helping young people to thrive through the support of youth clubs and targeted youth work.
-
Fight loneliness, social isolation and intergenerational divides by providing opportunities for people from all backgrounds and of all ages to come together socially, participate in their community, make friends and support each other.
-
Support people to feel mentally well, achieve healthy lifestyles, be independent, and develop skills that will help them thrive.
-
Develop a sustainable long- term project which supports the local community, responding to evolving needs and delivering activities, services and facilities that people want, by regularly consulting with the community and local organisations and service providers.
-
Operate as an “umbrella” charity nurturing and supporting other charitable and community organisations which share the same objectives.
