Tents boost for Woodhouse Scouts

Posted onPosted on 18th Oct

Mansfield Building Society has donated £500 through its Community Support Scheme to help 4th Mansfield Woodhouse Scout Group buy five new tents.

Phil Pogmore, akela, said: “We have lots of young people attending our Scout, Cubs and Beaver sessions. The donation from The Mansfield will give more of our members the opportunity to join our camping trips and become fully immersed in the Scouting experience.

“Having a local business supporting us is invaluable and with care and attention the tents will last for many years.”

Dale Twigger, marketing manager at the society, said: “The young people who take part in the group are very enthusiastic and engaged in all the activities.

“We are delighted to be supporting an organisation that teaches the value of team work, determination and having fun. I am proud of our Community Support Scheme and how positively it can impact many young people’s lives.”

Mansfield Building Society’s Community Support Scheme funds local groups and organisations in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire and meets twice yearly in May and November to consider applications.
