In North Nottinghamshire, Daneshill Sailing Club overcomes adversity with a £7,000 grant from Severn Trent's Community Fund. The funding ensures the club can continue fostering a love for sailing among community members and children, reinforcing its role as a vital local resource.
With its future hanging in the balance following a series of break-ins that left its equipment storage containers in shambles, hope sailed in with a £7,000 grant from Severn Trent's Community Fund. This crucial funding, awarded on February 17, 2024, is more than a lifeline; it's a testament to the power of collective support in preserving local heritage and sportsmanship.
The grant will replace two crucial shipping containers used for storing sailing equipment, a move that volunteer Bruce Barnett believes is pivotal in preventing future break-ins and ensuring the club's sustainability. "Securing our equipment is not just about preventing loss; it's about ensuring we can continue to offer a gateway to sailing for everyone in our community," Barnett shares, his voice reflecting the collective relief and optimism of over 60 club members.
As the club continues to encourage participation and passion for sailing, it stands as a proud symbol of resilience, unity, and the undying love for the sport that binds its members together.
