Disabled Access for Community Centre
Tax deductible
We are a small local charity hoping to raise money towards the cost of putting in disabled access to our community and Church building.
We are a thriving community building that offers a varied programme of activities and events for all ages, however currently access to the building isn't suitable for those less physically able which is something we are very keen to change.
This is part of a bigger refurbishment plan phase 1 has already been completed and until lockdown, we had raised just over £250,000 from our own fundraising and grants from 11 external funders towards the final stage but were still some £90,000 short of our target. Following the Coronavirus outbreak, funding for capital almost dried up, our architect was furloughed, we had no builder’s quotes (which were crucial for further funding applications) and some of our pledges of funding were nearing their date to be used or they would be withdrawn. A new approach was needed or the project would simply stall.
We have now split the remaining work into phases 4 and 5 of which stage 4 is due to start in the first week of October however this does not include the outside ramp which is desperately needed. We are hoping this is where you can help, All donations big or small are much appreciated, thank you for your support :)
