PAST AND PRESENT FUNDERS

Interplay is a registered charity and as such is reliant on fundraising to run the wide variety of activities it is involved in throughout the year.

Core funding comes from both of the local authorities - Swansea and Neath Port Talbot but we have also managed to attract funding from a number of other sources over the years such as:

• The Big Lottery - this has funded the year round project since 2000 .
• Children In Need - this has funded part of the under 12's summer project for many years.
• Cymorth - this has funded summer activities in both counties as well as Activity Days, Santa's Workshops and other events.
• Welsh Assembly Government Play and Disability fund - this has funded a variety of our schemes as well as introducing SWAT and after school clubs.
• Alcoa - this enabled the original piloting of the 12+ projects prior to 2000.
  
• South Wales Police Blue Light Discos - this enabled us to pilot the Disco project.
• CORE (community education) - this has helped us pilot both summer and weekend activities.
• Lloyds TSB andD'Arcy Development- these grants enabled us to set up and run the Neath Port Talbot Performing Arts Project, now an independent organisation.
• WCVA - Helped towards the running costs but mostly the care, training and expenses of the valuable volunteers of the Performing arts project.
• Swansea Housing Association - has helped towards the running costs of the summer project on several occasions.

We are also very thankful for the donations from businesses, other charities, parents and ordinary members of the public, all of which help Interplay to grow.

If anyone wants to make a donation to Interplay towards running any of its projects we will be extremely grateful - please make cheques payable to INTERPLAY and send them to our main office: 116 Walter Road, Swansea, SA1 5RE - Thank you!
