Funders have been generous to us over the years, but much of the grant money we can access has to be for specific items and tools. It is time we had a fundraising drive for money we can spend on an unrestricted basis i.e. we have not committed to use it for a particular purpose: very useful for unexpected needs e.g. cleaning preparations, nails, screws, small tools, stationery etc.
Chrissie, our chair and treasurer, is offering a poem-writing service: an ideal way for all members (and anyone else who is interested in helping with the management of the wood) to contribute, even if you can’t attend the monthly work parties. And even if you don’t want a poem!
For further details and the request form please either click here to view the PDF document or here to download the Word version and consider a request: perhaps something to commemorate an anniversary, event or birthday? A Christmas note to a friend or loved one? A ‘thank you’? A message to Santa?!
The document contains a sample poem (“The Smile”) and all the details for payments and donations.
Every little counts!
(Postscript, November 2023. Chrissie wrote a poem for our son’s 40th birthday after I gave her some history, anecdotes etc. It was great and was a really fun part of his family party)
