How much have we raised so far?
At the 22nd November 2009, we had raised £2,375:
Membership receipts to date £810
Open Day 11th July 2008 £256
Autumn Fair 1st Nov 2008 £536
Gardens Day 21st June 2009 £773
What have we spent it on?
We have provided some £700 for urgent repairs to the church fabric, which cured a lot of damp on the west wall.
What further work do we want to do?
Our next three fundraising objectives are:
- Commissioning a conservation report on the wall paintings, which will cost £1,500. This will tell us what work is required to conserve and restore them, and there may well be funding available for this. However no-one will fund this initial report: raising the funding for this is one way that external funding agencies can tell if there is local support for the church.
- Installing a basic kitchen to make catering for events possible. Currently there isn’t even a tap.
- Installing loos, again so that we can use the Church for a wider range of activities.
