Grants & Donations Heritage Lottery Fund, WREN, FCC Environmental, Barnsley Council A mass amount of funding came from the Heritage Lottery Fund, WREN, FCC Environmental and Barnsley Council for our biggest project to date: The renovation of the North Chapel, which is now the Community Hub. We received just under £150,000 in total for the project. We put towards the project with fundraising with help from the community, who stuck by us and supported us along the way. We have just received some money back from this project that wasn’t spent, so we are looking to put this towards a war memorial themed stained glass window for the Hub. Co-operative Local Community Fund A few months ago we applied for a share of the Co-op Local Community Fund. Our role was to promote the fundraising by the Co-op and try and boost our amount raised. Money was raised by members of the Co-op purchasing things, so that 1% of what they spent could go into the fund. The customer would have to pick a charity on their account for their money to go to that charity, otherwise all unallocated fund would be split across the three competing groups. Our advantage was that the purchases could include those made in the Co-operative funeral homes, but we created a banner and information post to get people involved. With the amount we raised, it’s safe to say that plastering this all over social media was a success.
In total, we raised £2,272! This money is going towards new plant pot holders to be fitted to the walls in the Peace Garden. Barnsley Council Whenever we’re in need of some cash for smaller projects, we apply to the Ward Alliance Fund. One example was when we required a defibrillator for the Community Hub. One of our members is a first responder, so he offered to take the defibrillator on Wombwell High Street or to any Wombwell event we go to for it to be used there should it be required. This information was put into the application and we received the full amount of around £1,080. We have since fitted the defibrillator in a container on the wall in the Community Hub, and took it to the Christmas gala held on Wombwell High Street.
