Grants For All Weather Surface

[Guest]

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of any grants available to provide outdoor all weather play surface? We are a village Pre School, using a church hall -and our church (landlord/council) have been really amenable in ensuring the children in the group have a nice room and facilities. Our outdoor garden is all grass and doesn't dry out at this time of year until the hot summer months, so we rarely are able to use it. However, we have been given the 'go ahead' by the church to resurface two thirds of the grassed area with all weather play surface, and as you can imagine it is going to cost a fortune - much more than we can expect our parentsto raise. Any contacts would be welcome.

Hi Roxanne -

The only thing that springs to mind is the Learning Through Landscapes organisation. I think they used to claim to have access to funding, but I can't see anything currently. You can find them here anyway. Let us know if you find any!

You could also try your EYDCP, thay may have grants for such projects as developing outdoor areas. Worth a try.

 

Good Luck!
