Fundraising

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.
