We have generations of Tilbury people here. We also have a lot of new houses & new people. There isn't anywhere we can integrate with the community anymore. We have 6.33 hectares of protected fields that was the main place to be growing up. Alas, the council took away all our sport pitches, neglected our swings & slides. We, as a strong unbreakable group formed 633ds (Daisy Squad). We have the whole town helping out doing small fundraisers for us. Tuesday 31st July we are holding a family fun day. We launched a community wish list and are working hard to achieve these goals. No permanent builds. Costs for changing rooms, a café, all anti-vandal cabins and pricing for the football pitches have all been sought. I have an appointment in 2 weeks time to meet the rep to obtain a quote for the swings & slides.
What we'll deliver:
- Community wish list
- New benches and picnic area
- Plant more trees
Why it's a great idea:
Our 633ds projected is desperately needed in Tilbury. Since the group started we have all realised it's WANTED. We have such a change in our community - everyone feeling the "Daisy Bug"... full of positives. We are up against a lot of negative aspects of the town i.e drugs & gangland culture. This project WILL bring children a choice. Something they haven't got much of at the moment. We don't want to wake up one day & the only choice left is what gang do you want to join. Parents are growing more concerned as there is nothing for their children to do. Also this is bringing a whole community together again. Working together. The obesity, health & well being of our community will be achieved
Steps to get it done:
Please kindly consider us for funding. We feel like a forgotten town in Thurrock Essex. We need to achieve this. A project that a whole Community WANTS, is very special and cements the 633ds Community Family Bond. I'm really looking forward to our "633 around the world taster day" then we really reach out & create our diverse & tight knit Community. Exciting times ahead... Please come & be a part of our 633ds Community Family - REFORMED. Thank you for this opportunity to apply for funding. Without nice funders we wouldn't be able to achieve much in a short space of time. A cash injection & visible changes sooner would be very beneficial to us. Thank you again 633ds Tilbury Town Family Community
