authority) to have a climbing frame with slide erected on the
playground, much to the delight of the children!
Case 2:
At a children’s get-together, a couple of 10 – 12 year old boys stated
that they wished there were a skateboard park and street hockey
ground near them where they lived in the Altenfurt district. We
explained to them that they could actually have their wish in the
foreseeable future through the “Make three from one” programme
if they could collect enough donations. The adults didn’t think the
boys would be capable of this, and wanted to rob their piggy pigs to
pay for the project. But the citizens’ association came up trumps and
found the money required. The city added its contribution and the
small amenity was constructed in the Schreiberhauerstrasse in the
following year. The boys’ piggy banks were left untouched.
Case 3:
Sometimes, supplementary funding is made available so that
larger projects do not have to be realized over several, less costeffective,
phases. In one instance, the “wbg 2000 Stiftung” (a charitable
foundation of the municipal housing association) donated
h 20,000 under the “Make three from one” programme towards the
construction of the play area at the Astrid-Lindgren school in the
Langwasser district of Nuremburg.
Case 4:
The funding required for the play area at the Carl-von-Ossietzky
school came from many, minor sources (including a larger donation
from the ‘Soziale Stadt’ federal/state scheme), and was made up to
the necessary sum through the “Make three from one” programme.
Case 5:
It was only possible to construct the Florentiner Strasse playground
in Kornburg because the local Protestant congregation collected
donations under the “Make three from one” programme. By way of
recompense for all the efforts of its members, the local daycare center
run by the church has the exclusive right to use the neighbouring
playground in the mornings – a win-win situation for all involved.
Case 6:
The “Make three from one” programme is to be used for the first
time to finance a multigenerational exercise park. The amenity is
still in the final stages of planning and is to be sited in the Reichelsdorf
district of Nuremburg. Young people and senior citizens
were extensively involved in the planning process, although through
separate organisations. The perhaps surprising thing is the extent
to which the proposals of both groups complemented and even
coincided with each other. While the younger people wanted more
fitness equipment, the older citizens choose equipment that would
promote coordination. But both groups decided they wanted seating.
As soon as the exercise park has been completed this year, the local
sports association will be offering supervised exercise courses for the
public there.
