Purpose of Grant Application |
We are a local not for profit club in Melton providing Lunch and Entertainment for the over 55’s on Mondays and Thursdays. Many of our lovely members are over 90 years old and we have lots of lovely volunteers who drive them and help at the club. We have kept our cost as low as we can at £12 for the day for travel, lunch and entertainment. We have local entertainers come in providing music and other types of entertainment. As with everything they are having to put their costs up. As a club we would greatly benefit with a grant to help pay for the entertainment so we could provide more for our members. |
