Following a successful first year trading at Bledington Community Shop and Café, we are looking for local community projects requiring support.

Last month we donated £2,000 to Bledington School, match funded by the Bledington School Association, to buy new school computers.

At this stage we are looking for applications so we can review and decide who will benefit before the shop Annual General Meeting on 26 June

The purpose of the shop charity, BaFCA, is to:  “to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Bledington and Foscot and its environs….to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life”

WHO CAN APPLY
