Sowerby Bridge F&W is an ambitious scheme to develop and use formerly derelict buildings in the heart of the town for community use.

OVERVIEW

As our Historic England and Arts Council cultural grants have now finished we have lost a significant source of income which helped cover over a third of our running costs.

Our running costs have massively increased, mainly as a result of having had to increase the building insurance but also because of the sort of rising costs we all know about, and we are not yet in a position to bring in community tenants because we can only get their accommodation ready (via our small DIY team) when we have the money to pay for all of the outstanding work

THE NEED
If we can finish 3 areas of the buildings we can move in three tenants, resulting in a big boost to our income. Our Catch 22 is that we haven't got the money, so we can't complete these areas.

THE PLEA
We are a voluntary organisation with no paid staff and we rely entirely on the goodwill of all of those involved. Our income comes from membership subscriptions, donations, rents and room hire but currently this isn't anywhere near sufficient. We need all the help we can get!!!

If you can spare anything at all it will really help . Thankyou .
