Ready Steady Grow
Why Are We Fundraising?

The Appeal

​We Launched our Leaves for Learning Community Fundraising Appeal in 2017 to help us raise money to support our Ready...Steady....Grow  Initiative.

​The total programme cost is likely to be nearly three million pounds as this includes extending our services, facilities and influence.

Stage 1 of this project is to transform Wetherdown Lodge creating new overnight accommodation with en-suite and fully accessible rooms.

We have already raised £675,000 and need a further £400,000, with works planned to  start works in spring 2020. Funds will be sought from key donors, Trusts and Foundations; Business supporters and legacies.
