An Isle of Wight community skate club has made it onto the shortlist of the Jewson Building Better Communities competition.
There’s a top prize nationally worth £150,000, which will see a building created or renovated, plus a number of regional winners who get to share the £100,000 prize fund, with each receiving between £500 and £10,000 worth of building materials.
John Cattle’s Skate Club
It’s great to hear that John Cattle’s Skate Club, whose base is a disused church hall, has been shortlisted in the competition.
A year-round, all weather, purpose-built training skate park has already been created inside, but as you can see from the photos, the building is in need of some maintenance.
Materials cost money and in this case, quite a lot. That’s where the Jewson competition comes in.
