she will apply to them for this, 10% suggested by Eileen Zoers, Community
Council for Somerset. CJ Grant will
give 50% of cost, we need to find £25% ourselves and if cost around £40K this
would be £10K of which we could put £8K already in bank and need to raise
another £2K, will need to increase fundraising activities, stall at fete
suggested asking for donations, nothing agreed. Will also need to find another £6K+ from grants, trusts,
charities etc. RO has old Charities Aid
