Community Fund Application - MHA Communities Hampshire South
From: Executive Portfolio for Leisure and Community - Wednesday, 18th March, 2026 3.00 pm - March 18, 2026
An application to the Community Fund has been submitted by MHA Communities Hampshire South, a registered charity supporting older people across the area, requesting £2,475.50 as a startup grant to establish a new weekly indoor kurling group for older residents in Fareham. MHA Communities Hampshire South exists to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of older people who may otherwise be isolated, lonely, or unable to participate in local community activities. They currently support over 250 older residents across South Hampshire, offering a range of regular volunteer-led activities, including exercise groups, with oversight from a small part-time staff team. The organisation has identified a growing need in Fareham for accessible exercise opportunities for older people. In response, they ran a 12week trial indoor kurling group at the United Reform Church in Fareham Town Centre. Attendance grew from 4 to 20 participants within this trial period, with demand continuing to rise. They also recruited volunteers to support the sessions. Their aim is to build on this trial and reach at least 50 additional isolated or lonely older residents in Fareham by the end of 2026. MHA Communities Hampshire South are seeking start-up funding to purchase indoor kurling equipment, cover promotional costs, and fund six months of hall hire and one staff member for 3 hours per week. They acknowledge that marketing to the older population can be challenging and plan to promote the group through referrals, word of mouth, local publications, newsletters, and social media. To ensure long-term sustainability, attendees will be asked to pay £6 per session, with income and expenditure reviewed throughout the project. The total cost of the project is £3,195. MHA Communities Hampshire South are requesting £2,475.50 from the Community Fund to support the first six months of delivery, with the remaining £719.50 to be funded from their reserves. As of 30 January, MHA Communities Hampshire South held £10,904.06 in their accounts. In the accounting year 1 January 2024 – 31 December 2024 within the Hampshire South accounts, there was an income of £155,694.83 and expenditure of £126,127.46. Money received for this project will be ringfenced for designated spending towards the establishment of the Fareham kurling group. Both Ward Councillors, Councillor L Whittle and Councillor K Wiltshire support MHA Communities Hampshire South community funding application.

Community Fund Application - Natal Bean
From: Executive Portfolio for Leisure and Community - Wednesday, 18th March, 2026 3.00 pm - March 18, 2026
This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Funding Programme. An application to the Community Fund has been received from Natal Bean Foundation CIO requesting £2,500 towards the purchase of 12 Tripp Trapp Highchairs, which are safe, ergonomic and inclusive seating for babies and toddlers for use within their café and community spaces. Natal Bean Foundation is a Fareham-based early years family hub operating from Ashcroft Arts Centre. They support families from pregnancy through the first 1,001 critical days and beyond, delivering accessible community provision including infant weighing clinics, parent workshops, peer support groups, health education sessions and inclusive family activities. Their sessions currently welcome an average of 56 parents each Monday, support approximately 28 babies through weekly weighing clinics, and provide space for two small local businesses to deliver workshops. Across a full year, this equates to more than 2,800 parent visits and over 1,200 babies supported. Support from Community Playthings, IKEA Partnership, Howdens and Hopscotch Nurseries Ltd has already been secured for the new Ashcroft Family Wellbeing Hub project to reduce the overall setup costs. Natal Bean Foundation would like to purchase Tripp Trapp highchairs for use within their café and community spaces. As pushchairs will not be permitted inside the building due to space and safety considerations, it is critical that families have secure, developmentally appropriate seating available. This would enable accessibility, safety and equitable participation for families attending sessions at Ashcroft Family Wellbeing Hub. The total cost of this project is £2,748. Natal Bean Foundation are looking for £2,500 from the Community Fund, with the remaining amount of £248 being funded from Natal Bean Foundation reserves. As of 25 February 2026, Natal Bean Foundation held £692.56 in their accounts. In the account year 6 April 2024 – 5 April 2025, there was an income of £6,918.88 and expenditure of £7,032.90. Both Ward Councillors, Councillor L Whittle and Councillor K Wiltshire support Natal Bean’s community funding application.

The report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Funding Programme. An application to the Community Fund has been received from ACT Self Defence for £4,320 towards minor renovations at their premises. This includes a matted wall, a mobile wall and separation curtains. ACT Self Defence is a community-focusses organisation delivering self-defence training and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) awareness seminars to local residents. Their work aims to improve personal safety, confidence and wellbeing, particularly for women, girls and other vulnerable groups. They also work in partnership with the Police Crime Commissioner on ‘Empower them’, a project designed to support young people experiencing challenges who may benefit from positive role modelling and opportunities to channel their energy in a more constructive way. The organisation works closely with community members, local organisations, and frontline professionals to provide accessible, practical education that helps people recognise risk, build resilience, and feel safer in their daily lives. ACT Self Defence expects to support approximately 200 participants each year. They are seeking funding to support minor renovations to our premises at 95 West Street, which is used to deliver self-defence classes, workshops, and VAWG seminars. The proposed improvements will enhance the safety, accessibility, and functionality of the space, ensuring it is fit for purpose and welcoming for all participants – including those who may have experienced trauma and require a safe, comfortable environment. The total cost of the project is £4,800. ACT Self Defence is requesting £4,320 from the Community Fund, with the remaining amount being met from their reserves. The PCC has also provided funding of £14,800 to deliver three ‘Empower them’ programmes, for which some of this equipment will also be used. As of 2 February, ACT held £1,980.14 in their accounts.

Community Fund Application - Fareham Park Run
From: Executive Portfolio for Leisure and Community - Thursday, 26th February, 2026 11.45 am - February 26, 2026
This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Community Funding Programme. An application to the Community Fund has been received from Fareham Park Run for £908.10 towards radios and a base station. Fareham parkrun would like to purchase 5 professional grade radios to improve safety via better communication. Fareham parkrun is a 5k community fitness event that takes place each Saturday morning at 9am using the Cams Easy Access Trail and has been operational for nearly 10yrs. It is completely volunteer led and whilst taking place under the umbrella of parkrun UK, no additional cash funding is provided. On average there are 226 participants each week who run, jog or walk and form this very friendly community. As participation has increased and become more inclusive many events, some locally have experienced serious medical incidents, including cardiac arrests. At present their current process of relying on personal mobile phones is not considered adequate. Equipping each of the on-course volunteer marshals with radio equipment capable of coping with the 2.5k distance and ability to communicate instantly will significantly improve the safety of participants. The total cost of this project is £1,009 for the equipment to be provided locally from RS Hill Communications in which this equipment has been tested at an event successfully. Fareham parkrun are looking for £908.10 from the Community Fund, with the remaining amount of £100.90 being funded from Fareham parkrun reserves. Any community funding received would be ringfenced only for Fareham parkrun. As of 10 February 25, Fareham Parkrun held £404.58 in their ringfenced accounts for Fareham under the national Parkrun accounts. Within the national Parkrun accounts, in the accounting year February 2024-January 2025, there was an income of £11,013,130 and expenditure of £10,364,919. Any community funding received would be ringfenced for Fareham parkrun. Both Ward Councillors, Councillor Hamilton and Councillor West support the Fareham Parkrun community funding application.

Voluntary Sector Support Fund - Fareham Men's Shed
From: Executive Portfolio for Leisure and Community - Thursday, 26th February, 2026 11.45 am - February 26, 2026
This report presents an application for funding under the Council’s Voluntary Sector Support Fund Programme. An application for Voluntary Sector Support Funding has been received from Fareham Men’s Shed for £446 towards focussed support from Community First to review their current Business Plan, focussing on constructing new purpose-built premises for the group. This Charitable Incorporated Organisation’s aims are to ‘promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people (particularly, but not exclusively, older men), within Fareham and the surrounding area, from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through the provision of facilities in which they can meet jointly or individually to undertake creative, physical or recreational activities, learn or pass on skills and knowledge and support each other socially’. They are a thriving organisation with 95 members currently and are based at Titchfield Festival Theatre. Due to the high demand to join Fareham Men’s Shed, the group are finding that their current facilities no longer meet their needs, both in terms of the space required and also in regards to accessibility. They are developing proposals to build new premises, and require a fully considered Business Plan to understand the feasibility of any options and to apply for appropriate grants. Their last official accounts from June 2025 listed funds of £52,650 which they plan to use as a contribution towards the cost of the new building.
