GOOD NEWS - EXTENDED DEADLINE UNTIL JUNE 2013

The Fund was launched in May 2012 but there is still time to apply for funding to improve your QEII Field. Grants already awarded are helping to improve children’s playgrounds, parks, recreation grounds, nature reserves, football and rugby pitches, cricket fields, tennis courts, new floodlighting, outdoor gyms, outdoor table tennis tables as well as activity programmes.

"Fields in Trust’s Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge is helping to deliver the most fantastic legacy from the Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. What's more, their London Legacy Fund is awarding grants of up to £10,000 and helping protect sports pitches and playgrounds right across the capital. I encourage all the Boroughs to get involved with the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge and take advantage of this chance to make our precious outdoor spaces even better."
