Looking Back: A Year of Community Support from The Sperring Charity

As the year draws to a close, The Sperring Charity is celebrating the incredible projects and people it has been able to support through its grant programme. From free gardening sessions for children and inclusive tennis activities, to vital services for vulnerable families, these grants have helped make a difference in the local community.

Funding this year has also helped towards refurbishing a church organ, upgrading sports equipment, replacing essential machinery for local sports clubs, and improving outdoor learning spaces at a local nursery. The charity has further supported youth clubs, local bands, and even provided funding towards hall hire for community shows.

The charity is delighted to see these projects making a positive impact in our community and look forward to continuing this work in the year ahead.

Take a look at some of the recent grants awarded to Somer Valley Tennis Club, The Hive, Holy Trinity Church, St John’s Nursery, and Cafe Concerts CIO featuring the charity’s Secretary, George Persson, pictured with representatives of the successful applicants.
