21 Feb 2007 - Grant For Volunteers!
Nacro’s Chelmsford Community Sports Project has recently been awarded with a grant from Essex and Southend Sports Trust – the Essex based charity for sport, for the development and training of grass roots volunteer coaches.
The Nacro Project uses volunteers from the local community to assist staff in providing positive sport and leisure activities for children and young people around the Chelmsford borough, diverting them away from anti-social behaviour and petty crime.
Project Manager Nick Emery said ‘ We are very grateful to Essex and Southend Sports Trust for providing us with this grant, we have a number of volunteers that give up their time on a weekly basis to benefit the children and young people of Chelmsford, this grant will go someway to rewarding them for their efforts, and hopefully act as an incentive for more volunteers to become involved’.
Anyone interested in volunteering for the project can visit the "Volunteering" page on this site or contact a member of the team on 01245 605665.
