Great to see us in the Crediton Courier!

LAPFORD Youth and Playing Field Trust (LYPTF) says it is in the process of developing its own website, which is: lapfordplayingfield.

A HUGE thanks to everyone for the feedback about the playing field and to those who have very generously supported us with donations.

We still would love to hear from you so keep that feedback coming!

We also are still short of our target to clear historic debts, so we would really appreciate anything that you can afford to give. Donations can be made online via PayPal (to [email protected]), please use the "friends and family" option so we don't have to pay any fees.

Many thanks!

Appeal for help...

Like many organisations, the COVID-19 pandemic has hit us hard meaning that we have not been able to hold any formal fund-raising events in the village for over a year.

We find ourselves in a tricky position with ongoing maintenance costs and also a residual debt that was inherited from previous committees that was originally taken out to fund the play equipment that is currently in use on the playing field. These loans are from private individuals who have kindly waived some of the loan, but they now need repaying the outstanding amount before we can start fund-raising for other things.

We have also approached the Youth Club Management Committee and requested a donation from their surplus funds after the sale of the old youth club building. However, they are unfortunately unable to make a donation at this time.

This is why we are appealing to you, the village residents, to help. If you could spare anything from a few pence to a few pounds, it would be gratefully appreciated.

We have set up a PayPal account so you can make credit or debit card donations online using the email address [email protected] (please use the friends and family option so there are no fees charged).

Alternatively, you can post a cheque (payable to the Lapford Playing Field Trust) through the letterbox at Ebenezer Cottage (located behind the Ark) in Lapford or at the Ark where (when lockdown restrictions ease) cash donations can also be made.

Hopefully it won’t be too much longer before we can hold some fun fund-raising events again, until then, stay safe and enjoy the playing field.

Thanks in advance!

The playing field in Lapford is a facility for everyone in the village. We are very keen to hear your views about it...

What can we do to improve it? Do you use the playing field? If not, why not? Is there anything we can do to make you make more use of it? All feedback very welcome.
