The Mount Florida Community Trust (MFCT) was established in June 2019 by a group of residents with the support of 1200 local signatories. The Trust currently has 5 Directors united in their aims to retain the site for the benefit of the community.
The Trust is structured as a Company Limited by Guarantee with Ministerial approval. Should the Trust be successful in its aim of purchasing the Bowling Club site, this precious green asset will be protected for the benefit of the whole community. The Trust has developed its own planning application for the site, after gathering local opinions for re-purposing the Club to meet 21st Century needs and interests. Our aim is to be flexible and community-led in all plans for the future of the site, ensuring it will be able to adapt and thrive for another 110 years!
We’re extremely keen to hear from local residents with ideas or suggestions about how we might use the bowling club site and from those willing to offer their time or skills. We are also asking for financial support from the community to support our campaign costs in relation to printing leaflets etc - if you could contribute to the Trust it would greatly assist our aims.
