Rotary Club of Frome have joined forces with Frome Skatepark Project and Frome Town Council to raise £400k to create a new skatepark in the Mary Baily playing field. Rotary’s participation not only provides greatly increased capacity for the group’s fundraising, but also means donations towards the skate park are eligible for Gift Aid, with the potential to generate an additional 25p for every pound donated.
Cllr Polly Lamb, lead councillor for the project, said:
“Huge thanks to Richard Lines and everyone at Rotary for pledging their support and helping us create this amazing new facility for Frome. Look out for information about loads of fundraising events in the pipeline, including screenings, music events and a deck auction – and if you haven’t shared your thoughts on the design yet, you have until 13 March to complete the survey online, or come and talk to us in person at the town hall on Friday 13 March from 3pm to 7.30pm.”
Richard Lines from Rotary Club of Frome said “We’re looking forward to working with FTC and Frome Skatepark Project to provide a much-needed skatepark for everyone, in and around Frome, and to welcoming members of the skatepark project as new Friends of Rotary.”
