Fund Raising

Any fundraising initiative for the Trust would be appreciated.

We have always received support from the local community for which we are very grateful.  Groups such as the Fron Ladies, Eirwen Jones and Cantorion Collen and many more have put on fund raising events on our behalf from the very beginning.  We recently received £265.00  from the Singing Festival held at the Llangollen Methodist Church during Eisteddfod week 2010 and Albert Dunlop, the Vice-Captain of the Vale of Llangollen Golf Club, raised £264.00 from members at his Vice-Captain's competition day.  Richard Davies, a local farmer, did a sponsored walk last year and raised £400.00.  Mrs Chris McCallum, who usd to live in New Brighton, Minera, and enjoyed watching the boats on the canal, remembered the Trust in her will and we were pleased to meet her sons and their wives who came to scatter her ashes and present us with a cheque for over £2,500.00.  These are just examples of the generosity of local people.   
 
We are planning fund raising events ourselves and hope to have a stall at the Great Llangollen Show on 4th and 5th September 2010.  We are delighted that the Sirenian Singers have agreed to put on a concert for us in May 2011.  (Details to be confirmed).  We also hope to be one of the beneficiaries from the Charity Golf Day at the Vale of Llangollen Golf Club on July 2nd 2011.  Members of the Trust will provide logistical support at these events.
