The AppealWe 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. |
