Our new charity, Sport and Arts in the Community ( SpArC) South West Shropshire 1170997 (yes it is a bit of a mouthful!) is now officially registered and trustees have been appointed. Jean Shirley and Richard Whately,  worked tirelessly  to set this up, were part of the group of trustees sharing the skills  needed to represent theatre and leisure users across SW Shropshire.

Jean says;  “Our mission is for trustees, volunteers and supporters to work together to;

• Produce a business plan
• Agree a facilities improvement plan
• Agree a marketing plan
• Raise and allocate campaign funds·
• Continue to act as a pressure group

Richard said; “As a small  community, we have shown just how much we can achieve in a short time, by working together to raise over £80k and winning the M&S competition for a new pool cover. The new charity pulls all of this together and is a really positive next step for us”
If you feel you can make a contribution to the future of SpArC in any way, please contact us. We are particularly in need of more fundraising committee volunteers and help with IT on this website and on our Facebook page.
