Stockingford Community Centre is situated in an area of multiple high deprivation and provides an ever-growing range of activities for all age groups from infants to the elderly. They took the lease from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council in July 2023 and since then have been operating as a self-sustaining business. We were pleased to be able to award them £500 as part of our Community Grant scheme.
Jane Danger, the Chair of Stockingford Community Centre said
“Being able to purchase a card machine to take payments from local people will make the day-to-day running of the centre so much easier. We are also dependent on volunteers so the remainder of the grant will help us with some of the costs incurred in supporting them.”
When you save or borrow with Clockwise your money is invested back into the community. Clockwise operates a Community Grant Scheme that awards local groups and individuals grants for a whole range of items that ultimately benefit the community the group and individual works to serve.
Under the scheme, any community group or individual in need of funds can apply in writing to us for a grant. To apply, the group or individual should be based in Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Coventry or Warwickshire. This can be for a whole range of items; for example, a small piece of equipment for a group such as food banks, community schemes aimed at under-represented groups, scouts/guides or a youth club or a laptop for a low income student. See below for examples of groups we have supported.
