What We Have Raised
PORTHPEAN PfS – A THIRD CENTRE FOR CORNWALL!
Nearly £40,000 was raised through the generous sponsorship of Pete Goss’s Trimaran in the Shetland Round Britain and Ireland race in June 2006. This money was used to equip the new Porthpean PfS Centre with a state-of-the-art ICT suite and interactive learning resources. This centre, the third PfS centre in Cornwall, opened in November 2006. It now works with over 50 young people each term.
2007/2008 PIRATES LEARNING ZONE – SATELLITE CENTRE FOR CAMBORNE POOL REDRUTH
A grant of £10,000 was made to the Pirates Learning Zone to outreach Playing for Success to Camborne, Pool & Redruth.
JULY 2008 TRURO CITY FC – ICT
A grant of £5,000 was made to the PfS Centre at Truro City FC for the purchase of an interactive whiteboard and projector.
SEPT 2008 SPIRIT OF MYSTERY EDUCATION PROJECT
The charity was awarded a grant of £10,000 from HSBC and a donation of £5,000 from Cornwall & Devon Media to support the 2 week education project at the Maritime Museum which saw almost 1,500 Cornish school children meeting Pete and the crew, climbing aboard Spirit of the Mystery, meeting an ‘original’ member of the Mystery crew from 1854 in a theatrical workshop, supported by the Maritime Museum and the Playing for Success team.
PIRATES LEARNING ZONE – IPODS
A grant of almost £2,000 was made to the Pirates Learning Zone for 10 IPods to enhance delivery of the education project.
SEPT 2008 DOUBLE CLUB STRATEGY
Cornwall PfS is committed to the development of PfS Double Clubs – a PfS branded and targeted programme delivered in curriculum time, supported by a centre but located in school. To date, £3,000 from the charity has been allocated to support this development work. The charity has also managed to secure £3,000 from Individual Needs to support the Pirates Double Club at Mounts Bay School.
2009 PENRYN COLLEGE - ASSOCIATE CENTRE STATUS
Penryn College were awarded a grant of £1,500 from the charity to support their application and pursuit of the nationally accredited 'Associate Centre in Partnership with Playing for Success' status which they were finally awarded in May 2010. Congratulations to Ros Bastian and all the team at the Penryn College PFS Centre!
2010 - BUDEHAVEN SPORTS COLLEGE
The charity has given a grant of £6,000 (of which £4,000 was a LA contribution) to support a second school, Budehaven - who have been waiting most patiently in the wings for many years - to work towards the application and process for Associate Centre status. Their current OOHL programme is based very closely on the Penryn College PFS model.
