12 noon on 1st December....
The Big Give Christmas Challenge starts....
One Donation – Twice the Impact
Our aim is to raise £4000 in the Big Give Christmas Challenge
£4000 will pay for the work on our loco “horns” (the place in the frames where the axle boxes sit). This is an essential step towards re-wheeling our loco and opening up further opportunities for our own volunteers to continue their training and development while progressing our restoration.
How does it work? If we can raise £2000 from you, our supporters, this amount will be doubled giving us a total of £4000.
The first £1000 has already been pledged by a group of friends of the Trust – the second £1000 of match funding comes from the “champion” found for us by The Big Give, namely ‘The Reed Foundation’
But to get these match funds we do have to raise the £2000. Once we meet our target everything over will be spent on further essential restoration work. No donation too large!
Donations have to be made during the campaign (1st to 8th December) and must be by debit/credit card through the Big Give website. Go to https://donate.thebiggive.org.uk and enter “The 2874 Trust” in the Find a Charity search box and that takes you to our dedicated page (we can get Gift Aid on top from eligible donors).
Will you please help us on the way to our milestone of re-wheeling?
Thank You
