ECT awarded a grant of £30,520 to enable the upgrading of the heating system at The Folk of Gloucester Museum. The project saw the replacement of an ineffective boiler and pump with a new system, together with all radiators being flushed out, refurbished and new valves fitted. Being an ancient building, the project was challenging, however the new system is functioning well and will bring benefits for years to come. #TheLCF

Shamrock Play Area in Churchdown was in need of an uplift, with its climbing frame reaching end of life. ECT awarded a grant of £50k which has seen the installation of two new climbing frames, plus various other pieces of kit to ensure that the play area caters for a broader age range. It was great to see so many families enjoying the new equipment, although it made taking photos rather challenging! #TheLCF

At St Oswald’s Church in Coney Hill ECT awarded a grant of £40k which funded the refitting of the hall toilets, air-to-air units for the hall, a suspended ceiling with insulation for the church hall and LED lighting. The insulation has already had a marked impact on keeping the hall cool during this summer’s heatwaves and it is anticipated that it will have the opposite effect in the winter, enabling the hall to keep warm and maximising the effectiveness of the air conditioning units. This is one of many improvements that the hall has enjoyed over recent times, thanks to some impressive fundraising by its team, resulting in far more community use, with even more planned. #TheLCF

Hucclecote Methodist Church was bustling with activity when I visited today thanks to Wednesday morning being its community garden session. The raised beds were bursting with healthy looking plants, with the second batch of new potatoes being ready imminently. The produce is used to supply local food hubs who provide healthy food packages for the local community. ECT contributed over £14k towards the renewal of three of the church’s flat roofs. This built on a previous project in 2022 to renew the roof of the church hall. #TheLCF

At Cheltenham North RFC ECT contributed £50k towards a £126k project to deliver a new artificial pitch. Working to a tight budget the club delivered a fabulous new resource which will enable its teams to train all year round, whatever the weather. The club is located directly adjacent to two landfill sites, so is particularly deserving of funding delivered through the Landfill Communities Fund #TheLCF
