Grants success for Holbeach St Marks Play Area
A grant from the national lottery "Awards for All" fund of £10,000 and a further grant from The Local Network Fund for young people and children for £6,000, along with local fundraising has ensured the successful installation of rubber safer surfacing for the existing play area behind the village hall. Children from the village can now play on the multi-play towers in total safety, that is easily maintained.
Well done to all those who worked so hard to raise funds for this much need facility.
