FUNDRAISING - A major part of the Trust's activities has been promotion
and fund raising. A website has been set up and is updated regularly. Fund-
raising events have been focused on local churches, village events, schools,

societies and friends of the Trust. The London Marathon event raised a good
amount of funds using both Gift Aid and Just Giving facilities. A big thank you to everyone. A professional fundraiser has shown interest in providing his services to engage in fundraising of the project when planning permission has been gained.

TRUSTEES AND NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS - We have had an increase in
the Trustees and the addition of a Non-Executive Director and we continue to look to increase our Trustees to provide a growing skills base.
