We are very pleased to be able to fund the majority of the cost of a new, outdoors triple basketball hoop for Breachwood Green JMI (Hitchin). The staggered heights of the hoop will allow children of all ages and abilities to practise shooting and defending and this model is approved by the England Basketball Association.
We are always impressed by staff taking the extra time and effort to research the best quality/price combinations for their applications and the dedication which staff, pupils and parents show in raising any extra money required for the project*. As Harry Jones, PE Lead, explained:
We appreciate this is over your grant limit of £1000.00 and therefore our PTFA have raised enough money to pay the extra £230.06. This money has been raised through PTFA volunteers and school staff, including myself, running fundraising events such as the School Summer Fete, School Discos and Cake Sales.
… Through networking with parents and staff members, we have managed to find someone who is happy to install (concrete in) the basketball hoop so that no contractors have to be paid.
* (EdufundUK do much prefer to fund an entire project or at least be the majority contributor to costs.)
