With the work that is done by TNS meeting the criteria the next step was an internal discussion.\u00a0“We had a meeting with our Par 5 committee and we agreed to donate \u00a3500 and that’s why I’m here today.”<\/em> he continued.<\/p>\n Par 5 Foundation began life in 2007 and since that time has raised in excess of \u00a375,000 and as Alun added,\u00a0“It all helps the local community. We donate in the wider local area and the likes of schools, colleges and hospitals have all benefited.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Was this his first visit to Park Hall though, we asked him, to which he replied,\u00a0“No, I’ve been here before. I’ve been to watch a few TNS games and it’s a very impressive set-up. It’s pretty unique for the local community to have a facility like this, especially in this area. Whenever I’ve been here it’s always been very well used.”<\/em><\/p>\n At the same time we also spoke with Gill, who is the TNS Foundation Officer. “It is a very generous donation and we are really grateful. I’ve approached a number of funders as we look to provide holiday activities for young people aged 4-14 years across the area.”<\/em> She began, before continuing, “This donation in particular is to support the activities in Gobowen, St Martins and Weston Rhyn and we aim to provide an activity each day and a free lunch for the children who attend during the holidays.”<\/em><\/p>\n Having already heard from Alun regarding the coming together of the two Foundations, how did it happen from Gill’s perspective:\u00a0“It was actually a conversation with one of our other funders, who mentioned Par 5 Foundation.” s<\/em>he replied.<\/p>\n From that, she took the initiative, as she explained: “They’re a local charity supporting local activities, so I thought it’s worth an approach. I had a great response from Alun and the results of the donation will be seen from Easter when we will be out and about.”<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.tnsfc.co.uk\/foundation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/02\/tns2.jpg\")
