Successful Grant Application from Cory Environmental Trust
St Agnes Sports Club are celebrating again this week having been successful in their application to Cory Environmental Trust for a grant of £10,000 towards their exciting new changing rooms project.
Following their success in being award £50,000 from Sport England Inspired Facilities Fund St Agnes Sports Club are in the process of applying for other funding and completing their own fundraising to achieve the total required to replace the existing changing room block at Enys Parc, St Agnes.
Sports Club Chairman Mandy Kimmins commented "This is fantastic news on top of our grant of £50,000 already awarded from the Olympic legacy funding from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund. Our existing changing block with its communal showers and lack of disabled
facilities is no longer equipped to cope with the growth and diversity of our member clubs so we are all absolutely delighted to have been awarded £10,000 from Cory Environmental Trust."

Inspired Facilities Grant Success
St Agnes Sports Club has secured Olympic legacy funding from Sport England’s Inspired Facilities fund.
Sport England today revealed that more than 1,000 local sports projects across the country have now received National Lottery funding through Inspired Facilities, which is part of the £150 million Places People Play legacy programme. Every sports facility that receives funding will carry the London 2012 Inspire mark – celebrating the link to the Games.
St Agnes Sports Club will receive £50,000 of National Lottery funding to upgrade the Changing Room Block, which has helped thousands of local men, women, young people and children get into sport over the years. The improvements include new changing rooms, official’s rooms, showers, kitchen, disabled facilities and toilets.
Sport England’s Chair, Richard Lewis, said: “This National Lottery investment is helping us deliver a lasting sporting legacy in Cornwall from last year’s successful Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“With so many clubs in the South West having benefitted from this fund already and building on the success of last summer, this is the legacy people want for their local community.”
Club Chairman, Mandy Kimmins, said: “We are delighted to have secured this investment, which means we can progress with our plans and other grant applications to upgrade the quality of our changing room block to meet the growth and demand of all our member clubs. St Agnes Sports Club now embraces St Agnes AFC, RFC, Netball, Gig and Boxing Club and our present changing facilities no longer meets the growth and needs of our overall membership which includes males and females aged from 5 – 65 years! I am also thrilled to hear that St Agnes and Perranporth Tennis Clubs have both received funding during this Inspired Facilities ‘funding window’ which, with £50,000 also received by St Agnes Surf Club in the last round, puts an amazing £200,000 of Olympic Legacy Funding into such a small area of Cornwall! How inspirational that there are so many sporting facilities not only available in our community but all actively looking to progress, grow and improve by applying for grant funding – well done and congratulations to them all and thank you to Sport England!”
St Agnes Sports Club is one of 310 projects across England to receiving lottery investment from the third round of the Inspired Facilities fund and one of over 1,000 to benefit overall, with the milestone being achieved one year ahead of schedule.
Many more communities can still benefit from the fund, with a further two rounds remaining. Bids will be accepted for the fourth round of Inspired Facilities Funding from the 4 March 2013. You can find out more at www.sportengland.org/inspiredfacilities.
