Thanks and appreciation went out from the manager of The Prout Bridge Project, Paula Tuff on social media on Saturday evening:

  • With reference to H.R.H. Prince Philip’s Duke of Edinburgh Award on the day of his funeral – “As the founder of the DofE, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has assisted in transforming the lives of millions of young people, leaving a lasting legacy in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. We are proud to have supported young people achieve this award in the past, offering young people the chance to discover they can do anything, achieve anything and overcome anything life throws their way.“
  • To their friends & corporate partners at The Ollerod in Beaminster – “Thank you Sil and Chris for all your support, we are very grateful.“
  • Paula continued – “Today I want to mention two people who have been with our charity from the start & without whom we wouldn’t be here today, about to start a new exciting plan for the future. Joy and Mike – Thank you both for believing in the Prout Bridge Project.”

Prout Bridge Project CrowdFunding To Serve The Parish

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:

You can read more and donate to their ‘Reaching Out‘ project by clicking HERE.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Support people to feel mentally well, achieve healthy lifestyles, be independent, and develop skills that will help them thrive.

  4. 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.

  5. Operate as an “umbrella” charity  nurturing and supporting other charitable and community organisations which share the same objectives.

Update from Broadwindsor Fun Group

Broadwindsor Fun Day 2021 will be Saturday, June 12th.

Dear fellow Broadwindsor residents and friends,

I write in my role as the Chair of the Broadwindsor Fun Group and hope that this update finds you safe and well.

At the time of putting this piece together the virus is still ever present and the ease of restrictions has been halted with regional lockdowns being put in place. Despite this the Broadwindsor Fun Group have started to look forward to happier times in effort to plan events. The toll on fundraising towards the Fun day to be held on 12th June 2021 has been heavy. I am grateful for the work carried out by committee members to reduce any losses regarding the cancellation of these.

On the positive side we are already negotiating with entertainers to appear at the Fun day in 2021. You may have seen a request for ideas for a theme. Some really good ones have been put forward including something around the Olympics and the European football and a more generic idea of  ‘Your Hero’.
More ideas are very welcome (please submit your ideas to:  bwfunday20@gmail.com).

Whilst we do feel able to start planning for the Fun day next year, we have had to make the difficult decision to not hold a fireworks event this year. The main reasons for this revolve around the virus and fears that even if the situation eased, many may not attend. I have looked at this matter carefully and would seek to inform you that I do not believe that the running of a fireworks evening is viable. Traditionally this event is a loss maker but nevertheless held for the community to enjoy. Should it be held this year, it is projected that we would make a loss of circ. £450. That is assuming that people would attend and still put money in the buckets etc. I have considered approaches to local companies for sponsorship but decided against this as they are most likely struggling to restart after the lockdown and I feel it would be wrong to ask for financial backing. This is not to say that approaches will not be made at a later date as we do need sponsorship for the Fun day itself!

This all said, we do hope to be in a position to run fundraising events such as a Christmas Fayre and Big Breakfast so that the Fun Day 2021 can go ahead bigger and better than ever.

Anyone seeking to hold any such events are asked to communicate with the Fun group so that we can avoid duplication etc. and support each other.

Regards,

Adrian Gray
Chair, Broadwindsor Fun Group

Jack Ruston has created a Fundraising page on behalf of Ollie Saloman-Carter, who had the brilliant idea of creating a memorial bench for him in Beaminster park.
At the time of publishing, they have achieved £635 of their £1,000 target.
If there are surplus donations – the money will be given to Harry’s parents to help towards funeral costs.
