|Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set|Para 1.41|During this financial year with the support
of Crowdfunder, the Aviva Community and
Wild Isles Funding we had a ‘See Me Be
Connected’ fundraiser to raise money for
‘The Old Orchard’. We have started to
create an accessible garden for adults with
a learning disability to learn and gain work
experience and to facilitate their inclusion
as active members of their community.
To date we have purchased a poly tunnel
and raised beds. We haven’t spent all the
money raised from this fundraiser yet so
priorities for next year are putting in paths,
a shed and composting toilet.|
