Foston Playing Field Committee was established in March 2008, following publication of the Parish Plan. The plan is the result of gathering information and opinions from the villagers (73% of 192 households responded).
A working group was established to analyse the results and an Action Plan put in place. The FPFC stemmed from this action plan. Our vision is to provide good quality play equipment for all ages, and not just establish a playground, but help create a much needed community meeting point within the village. We are now fine tuning our strategy and submitting applications for funding. Whilst we are looking mainly to grants to achieve our aims, we also have to raise a proportion of the funding ourselves. So far we have raised money from sponsorship for the Long Bennington Fun Run, from a very successful bag pack at Asda, and from subs received at the weekly kids sports club - held on the field every Friday at 6pm.
