Acle's Thatch Appeal
|
Acle St. Edmund: Thatch Appeal Stop Press (6 Sept 2020): a grant of £2,000 from Geoffrey Watling Trust means we have reached our target! ______________________________________________ Some people will be able to remember the south slope of the nave roof being rethatched in 1996.
It's now the turn of the north slope (dated c.1970) plus the sedge ridge, with repair and dressing of the south slope. We are looking to raise £40,000
We already had £2,600; the Church Council has allocated a further £7,500. As a Norfolk Broads church, it is fitting that this local landmark continues to be part-thatched.
Can you help us?
On-line donations: Peoples Fundraising (preferred) Thank you!
August update Thank you to Garfield Weston Foundation for a grant of £4,000 - with private donations this bring us within reach of our target! Late July update Because of the need to do the work before the autumn, we have given the go ahead to the thatcher to be on site for most of August. We are still £7,000 short of our target (but have the facility of a loan from the Parish Council - see below) so donations are still very welcome! July update Thank you to R.C. Snelling Charitable Trust for a grant of £2,000.
June update: Thank you to:-
Two further grant applications have been submitted, so it feels as though we might be in the home straight! Late May update: Thank you to the following:-
Unfortunately we are still £12,600 short, Can you help with a donation?
However, Coronavirus has severely affected our fundraising plans; on-line donations (above) would be particularly welcome. We don't want to have to defer the work and risk another winter.
