Bob Neill delighted that local scout group has been awarded a £50k grant towards the construction of a new HQ in Chislehurst Recreation
Veolia Environmental Trust has awarded the Chislehurst Invicta Scout Group a grant of £50,000 towards the construction of the building on Chislehurst Recreation Ground, off Empress Drive.
The new single-storey building will have a main hall, a kitchen, toilets, a meeting room and storage. The local community will also be able to use it for meetings, events and activities.
The Veolia Environmental Trust is now working with the Scout Group to finalise the details of the project and hope to get it started as soon as possible.
Local Member of Parliament, and Vice President of Bromley District Scouts, Bob Neill, said:
“I am thrilled that Veolia Environmental Trust has decided to award this money to this local scout group. Thanks to this grant, the group can now get this project off the ground and enjoy a custom made meeting space, which will also double up as an incredibly important asset for wider community use in Chislehurst.”
Project Coordinator, Thomas Roberts, says,
“This grant is great news and means we can push the project forward and create a new building for the Scouts and the community to use.”
