3 Jan 2025 update: we now have £1630 of offline donations so our total is £3420! We are 80% towards our target! Our CF will close on 18 Jan however we have a Coffee morning fundraiser on 25 Jan where we hope to raise the final amount needed to reach our goal! Please come and support us or donate here if you can't make it. Thank you!
Following community consultation in 2023, we formed the Gateside Park sub-committee and we have been working with Fife Council to put plans in place to renovate our existing playpark. The renovation is planned for 2025 and we need to raise a total of £150,000 for the work to be completed.
We have raised over £85,000 so far (Oct 2024) as a community group by having charity nights, jumble sales, coffee mornings, car washes, bag packing and through successful funding applications. We have successfully secured £50,000 from the Scottish Government and £30,000 from Fife Environmental Trust. As a fantastic small community we currently raised over £5000 with more events planned!
Our next step is to submit an application for the FCC Scottish Action Fund (Landfill Communities Fund). However we need to secure a third party payment of 10.75% in order to receive a sum of ideally £40,000. This means we are looking to raise another £4,300. The aim of this Crowdfunder project is to raise the CTP required to receive the £40,000 funding. It is only small amount to raise for a big reward! We will need to have raised this extra money by March 2025. Can you help? Are you able to make a small donation? Is your business able to support us with a donation too? We are only a small rural community and we need your support!
