Good news – we have finally broken ground and put in the foundations of this much needed new physical base for the FHT on the edge of Wilkies Wood! This has only been possible by securing a good part of the funding for this £20k project. So far about £9000 has been pledged in grants from funders such as the Gordon and Ena Baxter Foundation, the Southall Trust, The Hugh Fraser Foundation, The Corra Foundation and Volunteering Matters with a further £3000 from individual donors, the Hygeia Foundation and a small but welcome amount from the NFA.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THESE GENEROUS FUNDERS!
How quickly we proceed from here will depend on how creative we can be with our budget, whether the FHT is willing to put in a bit of its capital, how much previous quotes have gone up since we first approached suppliers, whether people are willing to help by volunteering with the build and what further funding comes in. We may have to phase the building but what is certain is that we are looking to move forward with this great project in the near future…
