Labour government grants put more sport in Limeside Park and help to break down barriers

 

30 January 2010

 

Phil Woolas is delighted with the announcement of a £40,000 grant to the Friends of Limeside Park.

The money will be used in Limeside Park to install  new basketball and football equipment.

 

The improvements will provide a safe area for young people to play and encourage increased usage of these outdoor resources.

 

Phil was also pleased to see Oldham Youth Foundation get £10,000 grant.

 

This is for a project involving those from local minority groups in intervention activities, one-to-one mentoring schemes and debate workshops.

 

The plan is to help break down cultural barriers in the community.
