[Easton-Cowgirls] Hardship fund request

Hello all! We have had a request to access the Cowgirls Hardship Fund, which is over the £50 that the Cowgirls Committee can decide on so it needs a whole club decision. Please read the below and email me by Tuesday, 17/11/2020 if you have any objections to the funds requested being accessed through the hardship fund. Little Purple Fran (captain of Uddersfield United, striker extraordinaire and one of the Italian crew) has requested a loan of £250 to pay for legal fees in trying to get access to her children. She separated from her ex over 1.5 years ago, and they tried to work out things like contact between them. But it’s not working any more. So she is now in contact with a solicitor who is going to write a letter with a suggestion of a way forward. This solicitor was recommended as an LGBTQ specialist. Sadly legal aid is not an option just now, but Fran is looking into it. In order to do this quickly Fran would like to borrow £250 from the fund, and she’ll pay it back to the Cowgirls in small instalments. If agreed, I will work out the repayment with her. Please let me know if you have any concerns or objections about us using the Cowgirls Hardship Fund to help Fran out by Tuesday, 17/11/2020. Thanks! Becs Interim Chair of the Easton Cowgirls
