Funding/Grants
Since we formed ourselves into a Charity we have needed to generate funds to allow us to operate. We have given a list of where the grants/funding has come from:
CO-OPERATIVE BANK
We have been awarded £1000 from the Co-Operative Bank. This money is to be spent buying waterproof trousers , steel toe-capped Wellington boots and other equipment to help our cause.
We were awarded £200 to use towards general brushcutter expenses.
Jo Fish managed to get a grant of £50 to enable us to buy litter pickers for the group.

We are awaiting the result of Stan Davies having applied for another grant from Community Champions. This will be used for purchasing equipment to allow us to help with the monitoring of bats.
Unfortunately this application was not successful.
The funds that we were waiting for from BDC, as the result of a planning result by Knights Development at Haslers Mill, Rayne, have now been paid into our account. The £1000 will be used to fund safety equipment etc. Thanks to Mike Banthorpe and Pete Lane.
Stan Davies managed to get a grant from Stansted Community Fund to allow us to buy display boards. These boards will be used to advertise our group at fetes etc.
