They are shouting this good news from the rooftops at Tanfield Bowling Club!
The club has just secured funding of £20,000 for a new roof from SUEZ Communities Trust formerly known as SITA Trust.
This amazing sum will ensure that they can replace the whole roof. The fact that the building will now be water tight means the community groups who use it have a warm future ahead!
Carol Munro, Secretary of Tanfield Bowling Club said “The Committee and Members of Tanfield Bowling Club are delighted to receive the funding for a new roof and would like to thank SUEZ Communities Trust for this funding”
Marianne Ivin of SUEZ Communities Trust added “The roof of the Bowling Club was really causing issues for the club so we are delighted to be able to help them replace it and to allow the continued use of the building for the users.”
SUEZ Communities Trust provides funding awards through the Scottish Landfill Communities Fund – an important source of funding which came into effect in April 2015. The scheme is linked to the Scottish Landfill Tax and encourages landfill site operators to provide contributions to approved bodies, who can then pass the funds onto community and environmental projects.
