Hi! We’ve had a bit of a tumultuous couple of months working out our future and how to enable the community space that so many of you have told us is needed and have helped to design. BUT, we have two big funding applications coming up and we want to try and show the funders that people are behind us. With that in mind, Sally has done a quick (and shaky!) video to explain what we need. Would you watch it and then send her one back, to 07599 595 514?
We’ve enabled a lot in lockdown to help reduce isolation, including Dip into a Book, Nature Playgroup, Business Networks, a bereavement project, draft Arts & Culture manifesto and been active partners/leaders in support for our local refugee and asylum seeking community. Most significantly, have worked with the Church of England to secure our place as managing agents of the community buildings at the back of St Mary’s. There’s a lot to sort, but oh so much more to do.
Now, we need to open. But to do that we need to show funders that we have support, that you are interested in the benefits a community space on the high street can bring, and that together, we can help each other build our resilience and share opportunities locally.
20 seconds of video from you about why it’s important is all we need - for the moment!
There’s no time like the present! If you can get it to us by Wednesday we’ll owe you a big bear hug!
Sally
