19 March 2010: Grassroots Money to Improve Training

Midshires has successfully improved its training facilities by obtaining funding for a new projector, screen and stand. We are also able to send four people for swift water training. We are pleased to say that this has been funded by the Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation’s Grassroots Grants fund after a successful grant application.

12 April 2010: Midshires Receive Grant from Caddington

During late December 2009 many from Midshires got to know the roads of Caddington very well as they walked them in the snow delivering leaflets. Now things have returned to normal, Caddington Parish Council kindly considered us eligible for a grant and it was presented to us by Tony Hansen, Chairman of the Parish Council at their Annual Parish Meeting on 12th April. This generosity is much appreciated and will enable us to purchase a new printer for our Control Vehicle.
