Another grant awarded!

This week brings the news that O2 have awarded us £1000 from the It's Your Community Award scheme, and they have declared us to be one of their top 15 projects of the month, so that should mean substantial publicity on their website and in local media. We haven't decided when we can take up the publicity opportunity yet, as we are still in negotiations about the extra space at the rear of the shop that we hope to acquire, should everything meet Mole Valley planning regulations. But it is another big boost to our fund-raising and we draw ever closer to our target.
Frazer Burchell (aged 15) has been incredibly helpful and has composed not only a poster advertising the kids' team (to give us their ideas for the shop) but also the posters for the open morning on Saturday and for the 4th July. Thanks, Frazer, they're just great! and our Village Shop Adviser has emailed them to other community shops to show them the benefits of involving the younger people in these projects from the start.
