A big thank you to all who voted on the RBWM website for the Royal Borough to allocate £2000 towards the Tower Appeal at the Parish Church of St John the Baptist. It was wonderful to receive a telephone call telling us that we had been successful, and to read on the BBC and RBWM websites that we were one of three winning projects based on votes received in July. Please pass on thanks to people who you know voted, but who are unlikely to have heard our good news.
Thanks to this substantial contribution and to many others, we have at the time of writing reached 65% of our £50,000 target, and it is planned to complete the fundraising and the works in the Spring, before the Jubilee and the Olympics.
Voting for funds to be released was one "painless" way to donate! In September, there is a further opportunity to contribute to the appeal without seeing your bank balance reduce. The Royal Borough has agreed for us to collect for the Tower outside the Post Office on several days in September - Sept. 7, 8, 14, 15, 23, 28, 29. If you are able to donate a little of your time in this way, please contact David Shaw to agree a convenient date and time. david.a.shaw25@btinternet.com.
