Almost £30,000 has been donated to a playing field project in Leconfield.
The Leconfield Playing Field Association (PFA) has secured £27,177 in funding from the Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant scheme.
A further £16,523 in funding was secured from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Sport, Play and Arts Community Development Fund and the playground is now completed.
Mike Wray, chairman of the PFA, said: “We only set the PFA up two years ago with a target of about £70,000 to refurbish the whole playground.
“We thought it would take 10 years, but thanks to my hard working committee arranging many fund raising events, the generosity of our parish council and several grant awarding bodies such as the MODs Community Covenant, the Big Lottery and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, we have completed the job.”
Staff from the Defence School of Transport, Leconfield, also played a part in assisting the submission for the community grant.
