Funding our Projects
Each new season brings the worry of whether sufficient funds can be raised to continue our enterprise. In 2019, thanks to the generosity of the public and a number of donations from grant giving bodies and organisations offering donations in lieu and fees for lectures given by members, we were able to meet our financial obligations. These of course were mainly the charges made by the Cotswold District Council [CDC] for the lease of the extra space in the Hospital Cottages and associated rates that came in total to approximately £5,000 with the additional insurance and electricity charges to the relevant suppliers. We are still applying our make-do and mend policy where possible to conserve our funds. However if anyone out there would like to donate towards the work of the LMHA or has ideas for further fund raising we would be pleased to hear from you.
We are now collecting empty Printer Cartridges which can be dropped in at the Hospital Cottages section of our Exhibition any Saturday before October. Entrance to the exhibition is of course FREE.
(Unfortunately we cannot recycle laserjet toner cartridges.)
