*****Funding for Playparks********

Dear All,

Please find information below regarding Parents for Playgrounds campaign which is currently being promoted by actress Patsy Kensit. The campaign involves a potential £15000 to update and renovate existing playgrounds. Parents and residents can register and upload pictures of an existing playground with information as to why their playspace should receive £15000 prize money. Contact the Unit Welfare Office for support-this is a community driven grant and should be applied for by a community committee.

It may be an opportunity for parents and residents of Dishforth Airfield to become involved with supporting information such as the following examples:


  • being an isolated station in a rural area
  • many parents deployed on operational duties
  • playspace vital in children and young people’s development
  • current playpark has limited value
  • access to funding limited from other sources in this current climate
