On the 10 October at the Community Market, the exciting results of the Ilsington Shop Community Awards 2015 were announced. Seven organisations from the Parish applied for funds and we are happy to announce that EVERYONE was successful! The shop gave a total of £5110 to worthwhile causes.

1. £500 was given to the Friends of Ilsington School towards a collection of wooden toadstool-style seating stools for the school field.

2.£250 was given to the Friends of Simms View towards Christmas craft activities and a party, including transport to the event for the elderly and normally housebound locals.

3. £250 was given to the Ilsington Netball Club towards the purchase of a kit bag of equipment as well as affiliation fees.

4. £750 was given to Ilsington Preschool for a living willow dome installation (including materials and ground preparation).

5. £60 was given to the Ilsington Primary School Council for classroom recycling boxes.

6. £1800 was given to Ilsington Village Hall for a portable stage

7. £1500 was given to the 1st Liverton Scout Group towards the purchase of replacement equipment necessary for week-long camps (notably tents, benches and fridges).

All of this is only possible because of the wonderful volunteers who generously give their time to help out in our shop and because of the wonderful customers from far and wide who continue to visit our shop. Give yourselves a huge pat on the back. We couldn’t do this without you!
