We are waiting to hear from Nottinghamshire County Council about our core funding, future events will be confirmed when we know if we have suffient funding to continue providing our community play. it is proposed to cut our funding by 24%, The 2009/10 grant was £20,000 per annum, this is to pay for running our resource centre, including all staffing costs. We have provided free play opportunities in responce to our community needs, we had hoped to continue. With proposed cuts it seems very unlikely. More details on Notts County Council Website. We will continue to search for additional funding from other sources.
