If you’re a local business – how can you help us?

Our local businesses and community organisations in and around West Coker have been ever so kind to us over the year. From Donations of funds or equipment/ resources to prizes for raffles and auctions. We thank you for all your ongoing support and generosity. So, as a community organisation or business how could you support us here at West Coker Scout Group. Below are several areas where need your help:

Grants

We have lucky to have skilled grant and funding application volunteers with the ability to create the narrative needed for various applications. We have accessed several grants over the years for important group resources such as our marquee, group trailer, hall resources and even camping / Scouting equipment that without these successful grants we really could not have provided the opportunities we have.
We are always looking for new grant to apply for and if your business as a charity arm or a grant programme please contact info@westcokerscouts.co.uk and let us know.

Donations

The Scout Group are very good at finding the volunteer resources to lead and manage projects or events but from time to time, we do ask for additional help, where that will be:

Volunteers: Company support to provide workforce hours to add with a project (repairs / decorating / event management)

Resources or equipment: Timber, tools, specialist equipment for our young people, H&S supplies such as first aid equipment etc

Professional services: Using your expertise to add us with developing our site & services: Acoustic engineering for the hall, H&S advice, training provision, programme provision.

Prizes: Products or services that we could use as part of a fundraising activity such as a raffle or auction.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the kind donations to West Coker Scout Group already received from local businesses. A big thank you to:

Kutchenhaus Kitchen (Rob Cash)
Mark White (general builder)
Donation of the Hall Kitchen
Labour & Professional services

Sponsorship

Let us shout about you whilst you support us to take out scouting activities to the next level. We §want to promote our partners and supporters as much as we want to promote and shout about ourselves as a group.

So, what can we do for you?

West Coker Scout Group is extremely well-run Scout group with over 120 young people as members and 40+ volunteers and supporters. It has a massive presence and reputation not only within the Scouting environment at District, County and Nationally but within the community too. The group participates regularly in a wide range of activities across the country including local community events and volunteering, activities and camps, international camps and trips and public service events.

The group has opportunities to sponsor such items as our Informal uniform (Hoodies & T-shirts), our Trailer (travels considerable distance each year all over the community and country), Banners & Feather Flags, cooking equipment such as aprons and chef hats (we participate in local and regional events each year), our stores and event and conference shelters.
