1,950 training courses for the unemployed
220 drop in centres for people with disabilities
220 environmental improvements to local community gardens/parks
120 self-help groups
500 activities for groups of children and young people
240 people to gain a qualification (many of whom had not previously gained any)
240 musical instruments for brass bands
230 refurbishments to community buildings and halls
76 team football strips for youth teams (boys and girls)
13 talented young people to participate at a senior level in their chosen field of music or sport
60 luncheon clubs for groups of elderly people
1,200 day trips and visits for the isolated or vulnerable

plus we have bought many items of equipment and paid for thousands of groups to increase the range of activities, services and support they give to their local communities.
