Second Round Grant Application
Having resolved the choice of tiles we were able then to firm up on contractors’ prices all of which fall within our original budget. We have also submitted our second round grant application to HLF; the approval process takes approximately 3 months to complete and we can expect a decision in mid September. All fingers and toes are crossed in anticipation of a positive response.
Other Sources of Funding
Even if the HLF agree to provide all the funds we have applied for this will represent only approximately 60% of the total cost of the project. As things currently stand we will be funding over £50,000 of the cost from monies that have been raised by Friends of All Saints and the PCC’s own cash reserves.
We are, therefore, looking for additional finance from other grant funding bodies and continue to invite contributions via our donations page.
To help with the funding D’Oyly’s are hosting an Harvest Supper on 17 September 2016 with proceeds committed to the roof fund. The event is a sell out with 150 attending so many thanks to D’Oyly’s for this initiative and for all those who are supporting the event.
