A Little Bit More Magic

Monkstone PC is pleased to announce that we received a Magic Little Grant through the partnership between Localgiving and Postcode Community Trust. Postcode Community Trust is a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Localgiving is the UK’s leading membership and support network for local charities and community groups. Our project received £500, plus £50 Match Funding, to help us buy more equipment for non members to play, and to invite local groups and schools to play petanque. With the interest generated from young people we intend to start a junior section of the club in 2024.
