Hello, thanks to generous support from people like you, we have already raised more than £400 through our Aviva crowdfunder https://www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/going-green-with-open-doors-somerset/backers . Thank you so much to Aviva for your support! The fundraiser is open for another three weeks or so, so there's plenty of time for you to think about contributing and telling your friends about it. As you may know we are moving into our new home at 2 West St Crewkerne TA18 8AX, where you'll currently see our festive window display. In the new year we'll be hosting all our activities there and hoping to launch some exciting new projects. So any support you can give will help us on our journey. Thankyou.
