For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 274 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $3,100 goes: • Materials: $2,150 • Permits and inspections: $110 • Safety equipment and signage: $380 • Tools hire and delivery: $460 Thanks for reading all this. - Noah

        it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Frankfurt.
