​Beneficiaries can take part in organised woodworking and horticultural workshops or use the Dig In facilities in Preston to work on their own projects. They also undertake projects within the local community creating and improving outdoor spaces for community use. These community projects give beneficiaries an opportunity to work in the local community. Transition back to civilian life after service can be challenging for many military veterans and involvement in community projects can greatly help the process.
​
Woodworking activities take place in their large workshop and all the tools needed to carry out activities are provided by the charity. Over the last 18 months the number of people being referred to the charity has increased by over 30%. This is due to improved referral pathways within local NHS ICBs (Intergrated Care Boards) and the growing number of social prescribing services within GPs surgeries and other NHS departments. The growing number of beneficiaries meant they were short of enough power tools to carry out activities effectively. Increased numbers and use also means increased wear and tear on the tools themselves, meaning they need replacing more often. We were happy to help with a full set of new tools for them.

​hey have public swimming, aquafit and swim sanity sessions, childrens' parties, 400 + children's swimming lesson programme and host 20+ schools in their school swimming programme. They also have an expanding wellbeing swim linked to local doctors surgeries and a newly qualified swim teacher able to deliver sessions to autistic children.
They have recently had an extension built and needed some blinds for the cafe and viewing area for when there are school swim sessions, a chest freezer to store ice creams for the children and a safety gate for the kitchen area. We were happy tp help with a grant for these!

​They run a fantastic little railway running round the picnic site at Cinderbarrow, Tarn Lane, near Yealand Redmayne, Lancashire. The railway is open to the public for rides on Sundays and bank holidays throughout the summer.
It had been pointed out that the site is hidden by trees and it is not always clear when it is open, plus they also wanted to replace some old hand made signs that had weathered badly and add some new vital health and safety notices for passengers. They now have a range of aluminium signs designed and produced by 3R sponsors Treble3 design and print.

two teams in the South Westmorland Seniors League (over-60s); and one team in the South Lakeland Rural League (beginners). In the autumn they turn on the lights and play in the Lune Valley Floodlight League. These league matches are supplemented by various weekend friendlies against local clubs and club competitions.

They always welcome potential new members, from experienced players to absolute beginners and have a Drop in on Club Night – Wednesdays from April to August. Full equipment is provided as well as tuition to get started and they are keen to state that Crown green bowling is not just a game for the elderly. It is a sport that people can play throughout their whole lives and find a new challenge each time they step onto the green.

The British Heart Foundation recommends that a defibrillator should be available within 4 minutes and they estimated that it would take more than 10 minutes to access and retrieve the previously nearest one from Kirkby Lonsdale. ​

​They do this through providing a number of services including afterschool clubs, holiday clubs, weekend clubs, daytime support for young adults, stay and play sessions for under 5's, a siblings group and a toy library. They were founded in 2009 by two mums of disabled children who were unable to find suitable childcare for their own disabled children.
Their current fridges needed replacing and these are a vital part of the food service they provide for the young people who attend. Not only do they prepare lunches for the young people but they also do a lot of cooking and baking on site with them that requires the fridges for food storage. Many of the young people they support also require food that is heated for their lunch and they were finding during busy school holidays that they were not able to prepare everyone's lunches on time. So the new additional microwave will be a great help with this as well as also having the correct wattage to be able to safely reheat the pureed food that some of young people bring with them.
