| Project summary | Funding allocated |
|---|---|
| Rufforth with Knapton Parish Council - to improve the pathway and turning circle to the children's play area in Knapton which is well used by the community in Knapton and local children and provides play opportunities for young people. The pathway improvements increase accessibility, benefitting those using mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walkers, as well as those with buggies or prams | £3,267 |
| Nether Poppleton Millennium Green Trust - to repair the stone pathway on the green. The path had been first built around 25 years ago and since has become uneven making it difficult for anyone of unsteady footing, or using a mobility aid such as a walker or wheelchair | £4,000 |
| Poppleton Lunch club - to continue and strengthen their offer of a weekly hot meal which provides vital social offer for some of the ward’s most isolated older people. Approximately 20 people attend. Attendees asked for some chair-based exercises to improve health and wellbeing also, which reduces risk of falls | £575 |
| Friends of Rufforth Primary School PTFA - towards their breakfast club and after school club which caters for 4 to 11 year olds. The activity is run outside of school time. | £550 |
