Funding
£3000.00 minimum is needed to meet this year’s targets, contribute to the Christmas Lights in 2021 and have the money in reserve for a 2021 Cudworth Calendar. Approximately half of the money can be raised via small grants etc but we still need £1500.00 (Last year we had a grant from the Co-op, a grant from the Ward Alliance and Simon Davey & The Star contributed a great deal to the Remembrance Day Lights. All the Christmas lights funding contribution from 2019 was ring-fenced from 2019 and the funding for 2020 has been ringfenced from 2019 but that funding has now all been used after this year’s contribution).
Ideas
Ideas are always welcome however if you suggest a project, you must be prepared to run the project, produce full costings, consider insurance/public liability and see the project through to the conclusion – The group will be on-hand to offer support.
