We have had a really good start to 2012 with the news that we have been awarded a grant of £10,000 from Sport England’s Small Grants Programme for our new project “Hayle Young Adults into Surf Life Saving”. The aim of the Project is to increase the number of 16-19 year olds in the Club’s senior section and will involve providing taster sessions and Beach Lifeguard support awards.
The grant will be used to buy new equipment – 4 paddle boards, 4 adjustable surf skis, 4 paddles, 8 buoyancy aids and 8 cagoules and includes funds for 20 Beach Lifeguard Awards and Coaches fuel costs. The aim is to target 80 beneficiaries during the year.
This is a very exciting project and the Club thanks Martin Symons for all his help with the application process.
