Why are you trying to fundraise £300,000?
We were first approached by Lavenham Community Council early in 2015. They proposed we build a new pre-school building adjoining the village hall to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. We jumped at this opportunity as it would enable us to enhance our provision and offer extended services.
We currently occupy a pack-away setting within the grounds of the local primary school, and although the building we share offers a suitable environment, it does not allow for the flexibility needed for growth and progression. But of course a new build doesn’t come cheap. The fundraising is a joint effort between the community council and the pre-school and will be through funding providers and charitable trusts, donations and fundraising events, all with a view to complete the build by September 2017. We have already had a cabaret evening, wine tasting and a concert by Lavenham Contemporary Choir, and we have many more events planned.
