I'm delighted to make a donation of
£1,000 to
Marple Skatepark Development Project from the banner advertising income on
The Marple Website, the
Marple Community Forum and the
Virtual History Tour of Marple for 2015-16. This has been possible due to the excellent support of the local businesses who pay for low cost advertising on these sites.

http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=4963.0The original purpose of the banner adverts on the sites was to generate income to cover running costs. This has been quite successful in recent years and has allowed most of the income to be donated to local causes:
In 2011
£1,000 was donated to
Friends of Marple Memorial Park for their Diamond Jubilee Project.
In 2012
The Marple Website became the main sponsor of the
Marple Christmas Cracker with a donation of
£1,000 to
Marple Business Forum.
£500 was donated to the
Skate Park Project in 2013 - this was matched by
Forever Manchester, effectively doubling our our money.
In 2014 a further £1,000 was donated to the
Skatepark Community Match Funding.
In 2015
£500 was donated to
Friends of Marple Memorial Park and
£350 spent on sponsoring
Marple Athletic JFC Under 12s for the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons.
The 2016 donation takes the banner advert contributions over the last 6 years to
£5,350 and the overall total donated to local causes by
The Marple Website since 2006 to
£10,050!
That's an average of £1,000 a year for the last 10 years! How many other community web sites do that?Take a look here if you would like to support
The Marple Website and local causes while promoting your business at very low cost!
