Thank you for voting for us

Back in October, we asked for your help.  Nat West Community Force were running a website where projects all round the country could advertise what they were doing and ask for votes from supporters.  The 3 projects with the most votes in each region (ours being Southampton) would get a donation of £6,000 as a result of attracting these votes.  With your help, and with a lot of running around in the final days of voting, we got 360 votes.  Thank you!

Nat West Community Force have just announced the winners.  And the result is....

Aquativity is a winning project!

So we are awaiting a £6,000 cheque from Nat West Community Force, sometime in December.  This will be used toward fitting out the building.  As you will have seen on this blog, we still have plenty to do, so every donation like this one will be used in full to achieve the next step towards getting the building ready for use.

For general interest, the other 2 deserving winners in the Southampton area are

• Calmore Sports Club, just down the road from Testwood Lakes, congratulations to them
• Hampshire Air Ambulance - who can possibly say that is not a deserving cause!

Thank you to everyone who voted for us.  If you have any ideas for other ways that might attract funding for our project, we'd love to hear from you at aquativity@gmail.com, or comment on this post.
