Fairshare Scheme Success in Barton
Monday 1st June 09

Delivering innovative projects across the whole of the North West is a pre-requisite for Salford City Reds Foundation, but one of the most successful schemes has been a Fairshare project delivered in Barton, an area of Salford that will eventually become home for Salford City Reds on completion of the Stadium build.

Currently half way through a 2 year scheme designed to engage the local community of Barton, the Reds Foundation’s development officers and community coaches have been delivering activities in local primary schools covering everything from skills session to healthy eating.

Eccles Neighbourhood Manager, Julie Blagden said:

"Supported by Salford City Council, the Salford Reds Foundation has delivered some fantastic work in the Winton area. It's great that this project can now be extended into the Barton area thanks to funding awarded from the Fairshare Trust".

Since launching in 2003, the Fair Share Trust has established itself in 81 neighbourhoods across the nation through the work of local delivery partners – ‘local agents and aims to:

• Build Capacity and Sustainability – by involving local communities in decision-making about lottery funding.
• Build Social Capital – by building links within and between communities to promote trust and participation.
• Improve liveability - by improving the living environment for communities.
Jean Mills, Development manager for The Community Foundation for Greater Manchester said:

"The Community Foundation for Greater Manchester is pleased to support this exciting initiative with Salford City Reds Foundation to provide coaching and activities for young people in Barton by providing a grant from The Big Lottery's Fair Share Trust Programme.

“This programme is keen to support children and young people and this initiative will provide skills and help to develop a healthy attitude to exercise as well as improving confidence in young people which they can take back to their communities
