Fundraising
So far we have the land and the arena but still need to provide all of the support facilities. These include storage for the carriages and all the equipment, access and parking facilities suitable for wheelchairs and a wish list of other items we will need. A list is detailed below, have a quick look, is there anything here you could donate to help us out. It doesn't have to be new and shiney just functional.
We need a total of £40,000 to finish the complex.
Fund raising has started and thanks to some generous donations the current total at April 2012 is:
Project Bramble Fund £7513
Obviously we still have a long way to go. Every penny you can spare will help us to get a bit closer to building the dream. Help us to maximise the potential of every one of our drivers. Outdoor activities, competition and challenge enrich life. Everyone, no matter how young or old, and no matter how disabled should have the opportunity to experience these things. Help us to bring a smile to their faces.
To be a sponsor please send a cheque for whatever you can spare to:
Group Treasurer
Argyll RDA Driving Group (SCIO),
Craiglora, Connel, Oban, Argyll, PA37 1PH
Cheques should be made out to: Argyll RDA Driving Group (SCIO)
Gift Aid It
It would be of great benefit to us if you would also complete the Gift Aid form and return that with your donation saying that this is for Project Bramble. Filling in the gift aid form does not cost you any more but allows us to claim tax relief on your donation.
Other Ways to HELP
There are other ways you could help as well. How about being:
A Patron
There are many ways a patron could help to support our efforts, please contact one of the committee to discuss how you might be able to help.
A Skills Sponsor
Do you have a skill that will help us to build our dream? Could you donate some of your time to help build the project. There are always things needing to be done to keep the group running - could you help in some way?
A Materials or an Equipment Sponsor
Could you donate some of the materials or equipment that we need?
A Volunteer
Could you help us out for a few hours occasionally? Or would you like to become one of our regular volunteers?
Any help you could give would be much appreciated and would make a real difference to the lives of our drivers.
Thank you!
