Many thanks to our fantastic local fund raising team: Glenys Lake, Sarah Allen, Jane Hissey, Dee Hogg, Gill Terry, Janet Tourell, Ann Zenka and all the volunteers who do so much to help us.
In order to realise our goal of providing a New Community Centre at the Playing Field, we need to raise significant funds. Getting more volunteers and expertise will have a massive impact on our results.
Several residents that responded to our survey offered to help us to write grant applications.

In our recent survey many of you said you were keen to support our ongoing fundraising efforts. The good news is there are lots of ways you can get involved in our campaign, meet new people and have fun this Autumn and Winter.
There are still tickets available for our Pop Up Vintage Tea Party in the Village Hall on Saturday 28th October. You can dress up too if you like!
In December we are hosting a fun quiz night, you are invited to enter in teams of 6 people. We will be serving a bowl of Chili followed by ice cream from a local dairy farm. Tickets are £15 per head. Don’t worry if you can’t put a table of 6 together, we will combine smaller groups on the night.
We do hope you can come to one or both of these events but don’t worry if you can’t make it. You can donate as little or as much as you like on our Just Giving Page any time. Every single penny donated makes a difference to the success of our project, thank you for supporting us.
