The Friends of St Mary’s Gamlingay
Chairman’s Report for 2021
Following two years of Covid restrictions, event led fund raising activity was still deemed to be very risky to attempt. It was also the year in which the replacement of the lead on the roof and other major repairs were to begin. Whilst considerable funds were obtained through various grants there was still to be a considerable shortfall.
It was decided that the best way to make up that shortfall was to approach directly local businesses and individuals to request donations. In the event this proved to be very successful and thanks to their generosity in excess of £70,000 was donated much of it from local companies as part of their charitable giving for the year, deductable from their tax and therefore not eligible for gift aid.
Not all the works were completed in 2021 and until the final account has been rendered there is little requirement for further fundraising other than the amounts donated on a monthly/quarterly basis by individuals.
Signed
Chairman
