 Come and join us at the Strathpeffer community centre for our anual general meeting on the 8th of June starting at 11AMThis will be a short meeting for us to summarise all the wonderful progress that has been made with the Strathpeffer Community Park Project over the last year, present our accounts and elect/re-elect our Board.
We don't expect it to take much more than half an hour. Your attendance will help show support (useful for our fundraising efforts) and keep our spirits high, so please pop along if you can. Non-members, as well as children, are more than welcome and there will be plenty of time after the meeting for you to discuss the park project with us. https://www.facebook.com/events/2312342602311127/ #strathpeffercommunitypark
Strathpeffer Residents' Association require the services of a professional project manager to deliver an exciting community park project in the village of Strathpeffer. Main tasks include 1) managing our planning permission application; 2) overseeing the purchase of the land through an approved Community Asset Transfer; 3) day to day management and coordination of contracts for drainage works, path network, and children's play park. We request a quote for the works detailed in the attached Invitation to Quote document where you will find all information relating to the tendering process. The successful contractor will be able to provide evidence of having successfully managed similar small infrastructure projects, experience of working with communities (excellent communication skills), ability to manage time flexibly, and have experience of the planning system. Please note that we have extended the submission deadline to 12:00 on Monday 3rd June. 
Here at the SRA we are still over the moon with our Scottish land fund award of £38,025. But the work and the fundraising doesn’t stop here. Our chances of success are greatly improved by the support we will be able to access with our Scottish Land Fund money, but drainage, paths, and children’s play parks are not cheap, and we still have a lot of money to raise. You can donate to our cause via Wonderful.org and search for Strathpeffer Residents' Association https://wonderful.org/charity/strathpefferresidentsassociation  https://www.ross-shirejournal.co.uk/news/land-fund-grant-brings-strathpeffer-park-plan-a-major-step-closer-176789/?fbclid=IwAR2vq37U71WohVxmI84W07Xc6TtRuFqHZUm8ue6QtcVD6oMMsaWDdf5w6Vw
We are bursting with excitement here at the SRA - after a successful Scottish Land Fund application, we have been awarded £38,025!
This is a huge boost to our ambition to develop our new park. The £38,025 award will allow us to purchase the land from the Highland Council and also pay for the vital fundraising and project management expertise we need to finance and deliver the various elements of the project. You can find the details of the award here: https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/…/over-500-000-for-four… The National Lottery Community Fund The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland We hope you are as excited as us about this huge leap forward! * We recently updated our Business Plan in which we detail a simplified approach that focuses on drainage, paths and children's play facilities. We have consulted with various experts and taken on board comments received from members of our community to develop the new plan (below). We hope you like it and that it meets your expectations! We will send out a more formal request for feedback in due course but if you have any initial comments* or suggestions please get in touch with the SRA board via our Facebook page, email, or in person. *We have noted concerns about the location of the equipment lock-up from some neighbors of the site and look forward to working out a solution with them.  Many thanks to Strathpeffer Primary School's 'Outdoor-ninjas' for providing some excellent ideas for our new play park. One example below. Keep them coming!!  |
