Groups looking for YOUR vote to win funding
T
he Friends of Baileys Court Primary School is one of a number of local voluntary groups calling on the support of the local community to help win funding through a national competition organised by insurance company Aviva. The group, which is seeking funds to replace the condemned ‘bark park’ area in the school playground, is asking local people to cast votes in the Aviva Community Fund 2016

Anyone who lives in the UK and registers on the Aviva Community Fund website (community-fund.aviva.co.uk) can vote for projects until 18th November. Each person gets ten votes, which can be spread around or used to support a single project. The winners will be announced in January 2017.
happy learning environment. This is why Baileys Court Primary School desperately needs funding to help regenerate much of its outdoor play area, which is currently severely limited due to safety concerns. These spaces are not just for the benefit of pupils at the school - they will be an asset to the whole community as they are also available for use by local pre-schools and other groups who provide families with much needed support after school and in school holidays. Other local groups to have entered the Aviva competition include: • The 1st Bradley Stoke Scout Group, seeking up to £10,000 to purchase its own box van trailer, which would make camping trips more affordable and allow them to be organised more frequently. • The 1st Stoke Gifford Scout Group, seeking up to £1,000 to put towards the purchase of a community defibrillator unit that
would be installed outside the Old School Rooms. • Aretians RFC, seeking up to £10,000 to provide training lights for its second team pitch in Little Stoke Park, in order to relieve pressure on its main pitch, which gets badly churned up in winter.
