Funding for the EW!

We just got awarded £800 from  the Aylesbury Vale Community Chest! Ingrid spotted an article in the local paper awhile ago, saying that AVDC will be discontinuing funding, and that this was the last chance to submit applications. Anyway, Ingrid filled out the forms, and called up a few times to get it right. And she spent quite some time to get everythign right.

And now, a few weeks later, we were informed that we have been awarded £800! We plan to spend this on funding a training course for one of our volunteers, buying plants, and paying for plants in 2017.

This is money that is initially paid in by us, so we are reusing our tax.

We also asked Waitrose to use the community fund they have at the tilles, with the green tokens. Well, they have just given us £219!

So we are really able to do a little more now, as this will pay for our insurance for 2017 - always a problem of where to get the money from.

Thanks Waitrose!
