19th February 2024An update from us as we begin the third week of our crowdfunding campaign
Yet again - wow! Thank you so much to all those who have donated to our crowdfunder so far. We’ve raised over £34,000 which means we are more than a third of the way towards meeting our target!
It’s encouraging to see that support is coming from so many groups of people - local businesses, our existing volunteer base, and new supporters - we’re so excited to be on this journey with you.
At the beginning of the third week of our fundraiser, we are very excited to share our new campaign video. In the video, our Chair of Trustees, Mark Funnell shares more details of our plans for the Lower Chew Forest. You can watch it here:
We’ve been in the news! Last week, we were really pleased to see Lower Chew Forest being reported on by various media outlets. You may have seen us the Bristol 247, the Mendip Times, the Week In and the BBC to name a few. You might have heard us on the radio too - from Radio Bristol to Somer Valley FM and more.
As ever, we’re grateful for the support of our community. We are so close to realising the Lower Chew Forest but we’ve still got a way to go. Please help us spread the word by sharing our Crowdfunder so that we can raise the remaining funds in the next few weeks.
