Hugely ambitious plans need a lot of funding! You told us what you wanted for Penistone Leisure Centre, and we aim to deliver it. We have broken the work down into projects and applied to different funders for each part.
Below is a visual representation of the funding that we have already secured and money we still need to fundraise. As you can see, we’ve already raised well over half of what we need – 61% in fact, with 19% more we are hoping to raise from applications we have in progress. However, there’s that last 20% – so still a lot to do!
