We have had an amazing month for our fundraising. As well as being able to add a huge amount raised from our fantastic church fete in September, we have been advised that two grants have been awarded to our project!
The first grant awarded is for £10,000 from the Berkshire Churches Trust, and the second of £25,000 from the Sabina Sutherland Charitable Trust. We are extremely grateful for both!
On top of this, our fundraising events continue (I’ve just come back from a delicious lunch hosted by Newbold School with proceeds raised kindly being donated to us).
Our total is now standing at £175,787 broken down as:
Initial PCC Contribution: £100,000
Donations received (individual and events): £40,787
Charitable grants awarded: £35,000.
