Donations for the Messenger

Since our last issue, donations and contributions have started to come in, along with some really positive comments about the Messenger.

Thank you to those readers for their generous support, it has been a real boost to morale and will help us keep going.

Since the last edition, some staff members have been volunteering their time to lower costs. The good news is that an application to The Tudor Trust has raised £35,000 for this year and next, so we have an encouraging start.

We do need more money to keep up the work. There are several ways you can donate to the Messenger:

• Send a one off donation to the Messenger at the office in Abbeyfield Park House

• Donate via the website: click on the button below

• Set up a standing order to our bank account number, E-mail or phone us on 242 0564 if you want any help. We will be staffing the office between 2 and 5pm on Wednesdays 1st and 8th June and Fridays 3rd and 10th June.

We also love to read the comments we receive, such as:

“I enclose a sub for me and one for a neighbour who might not be able to afford it.”

“Funding should be a priority for community magazines because they are such a precious resource and give invaluable local information to their readers.”

We hope you agree.
