💡 Did you know…?
It costs around £1,000 per year just to keep our community group running — before we spend anything on larger projects to improve the area.
That covers essentials such as website and technology costs, printing, room hire and other basic expenses. Larger community projects — such as planting bulbs, buying shared gardening equipment and making improvements around the estate — cost extra.
🤝 Help us do more
As a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, we rely on a mixture of donations, grants and other local funding. We actively look for grants and support from local businesses, but donations from residents give us the flexibility to cover everyday costs and fund smaller projects that might not qualify for external funding.
All money we receive is used to run the group or support our work in the community. You can see what community effort has already achieved on our Achievements page.
