Cambourne Crier has recently provided funding to The Vine School community gardening project, Cambourne Rainbows and Guides and Cambourne Bowls Club. We have previously supported Cambourne Football Club, The Big Squiggle (formerly The Big Draw), the Meet the Neighbours Easter Egg Hunt and Performing Arts. We have also paid for materials to help with the repainting of the former Cambourne Soul building and helped provide equipment to Cambourne-based charity, CamCare UK.
Cambourne Rainbows
The latest good cause to receive a Cambourne Crier grant was 2nd Cambourne Rainbows, which is a pre-Guides and Brownies organisation for 4- to 7-year-old girls.
The cheque was awarded to the group by one of Cambourne Crier's editors, Paul Jobling and was gratefully received by Rainbow leader Angie Sandhu. The money is to be used to buy sports equipment for the children to further their enjoyment of their involvement in the Rainbows.
Angie said, "Thank you Cambourne Crier, this is fantastic. All the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides in Cambourne will benefit from trying a range of sporting activities that they wouldn't have been able to try if it weren't for this funding. We are looking forward to improving our fitness in new and fun ways."
Angie explained that the children learn about the world around them through membership of the Rainbows, including important matters such as caring for animals, recycling and learning about their community. This being done with reference to their four pillars, which are Look – Learn – Laugh – Love.
Cambourne Bowls Club
"Cambourne Bowls Club wish to thank the Cambourne Crier Community Fund for its generous donation to the club for the purchase of two additional rink scorers.
"This enables ordinary club members to record their scores when there is also a league match taking place."
