3rd Day – Our Financial Backers
We owe a debt of gratitude to a number of charities and other organisations that have awarded us grants in the past 12 months.
This year we enlarged and improved the platform at the top of the nave; it’s been of real value over the last few weeks. Thanks to all who helped us to pay for that. The William Allen Young Charitable Trust (£5,000), Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust (£5,000), Edward Cadbury Charitable Trust (£3,000), and Ross-on-Wye Town Council (£1,000). The Friends of St Mary’s (£3,000).
Our LifeLink Chaplain project is being partly funded for three years by The Benefact Trust with a total grant of £27,000 – £9,000 each year.
Ross Town Council has also given us a grants to help with the installation of cameras at the top of the tower so that residents and visitors can view our resident Peregrine Falcons. Also to help make some of our community events work, in particular JK300.
Borders Marches Early Music Forum, the Freemasons of Vitruvian Lodge and Rehau’s in the Community Committee have all generously sponsored our free lunchtime concert series, First Wednesdays @ 1 this year.
