Decision details

For our club to continue we need help with costs such as facility hire and costs for referees and table officials when we have our matches. We also need help with items such as new tyres for our wheelchairs and an electronic scoreboard for when we have matches. Including smaller items such as new basketballs.

To provide funding of £500 to the above project.

Reason for decision:

Before I founded Folkestone Arrows I realised that the closest wheelchair basketball club was towards London. Being local myself I wanted to create a club where disabled people could come and try basketball and meet other people. I think it is so important to have somewhere that disabled people can go so that they are not isolated, they can make new friends, share experiences and also enjoy some sport. The majority of people who come are from around the Folkestone area.
