Sport England - Movement Fund has provided £2,419 of match funding
Gipsy Hill Christmas Tree Festivities & Petanque
London, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
To raise £2420 to match funds from Sport England to enable us to create a petanque court & £500 for the Gipsy Hill Christmas Tree.
Help us bring a Christmas Tree and a pétanque court to Gipsy Hill, and don’t miss one (or more) of our many AMAZING rewards available for your support! Thanks to Sports England we’ve been offered £2,420 towards half the total, but only if we can match fund by raising £2,420!
This funding will allow us to create multi-use petanque court and community area, levelling off the surface in main garden. It will improve access around the garden and between levels. This will cover the cost of materials and some of the more specialised levelling like driving an excavator and cutting in the steps.
On top of this we will look to raise £500 towards the Christmas Tree for Gipsy Hill.
Our Christmas Crowdfunding Target is £5340.
See the rewards for all the amazing things you can get for the tree and for Christmas presents. You can do all your Christmas shopping here, help bring a Christmas tree to Gipsy Hill and help Crowdfund a community asset.
You can have your own Christmas message on or around the tree.
You can have a painted bauble with your name on.
Or you can sponsor one one of the barriers around the tree with 1/4, 1/2 or a whole barrier banner.
All messages will need to be confirmed with the Friends committee before being displayed by mid-November.
We need your support to bring the Petanque to Gipsy Hill, there are many other rewards available, check them out. Sponsor a a step, sponsor the score board, reward yourself with an afternoon of petanque in the garden for you and your friends, sponsor a bench or simply sponsor the garden for a year and get your name on the garden banner. These would make great Christmas presents.
Get yourself a Friends of Gipsy Hill bamboo badge, a tea towel, tote bag, note book or apron. Go on spoil yourself.
Sponsor the garden and you can come and play free of charge, on one of our many open days and you could be a contender for the Friends of Gipsy Hill inaugural petanque team.
You can simply donate to bring the petanque to Gipsy Hill to be used as a community asset. Do something amazing and support the Friends of Gipsy Hill as we look to bring a dedicated petanque court to our fantastic corner of London.
The important thing is that we get the garden in a flat state to enable the beautiful game of petanque to be played and enjoyed by the people of Gipsy Hill.
With thanks to Sport England for their support.
