The Brookfield Shiers Family Trust is a sum of money donated to be looked after by the Council and used to help good causes across the area of the old Cheadle & Gatley UDC (roughly covering present-day wards of Cheadle & Gatley, Cheadle Hulme North, Heald Green and Cheadle Hulme South).
It’s invested by the Council following guidance from the nine councillors of the Cheadle Area Committee.
Last year we decided to award £5,000 of the money in grants. We had thirteen applications from organisations, adding up to a total of £15,000.
The councillors then agreed on a method for us to rank the bids and decide how much each should get. Finally, at Area Committee on 1st March we agreed who should get what, so here’s the list.
Gatley Carrs Conservation Group £500.00
1st Gatley Scout Group £492.92
All Saints Parish Rooms £500.00
Newboult Road Allotments £300.00
Friends of Rose Vale Park £625.00
Friends of Brooklyn Crescent £625.00
St Ann’s Road North Allotments £625.00
Gatley Hill Young People’s Centre £354.42
Friends of Stockport Cemeteries £500.00
Gatley Festival £477.66
Sorry to the four organisations we weren’t able to give anything to on this occasion, and hopefully the £5,000 will be put to good use and make a real difference.
