Sport Wales Funding Offer received
We are successful with our funding application. We receive a £100,000 funding offer from Sport Wales, with the requirement to raise £50,000 in partnership funding. Whilst successful, this is less than the £125,000 originally requested, so further fundraising is required.
charity Registration
With the requirement to hold a lease for the pump track site and further fundraising, we register as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission.
