Q?

What funds still need to be raised

A.

This much needed, new facility cost $3.95 million to build. The Trust has raised $3.1m to date. Currently we have a debt of $800,000. We are applying to a number of organisations for grants but still very much need the help of the community to fund this remaining debt. For every dollar we can raise now we reduce our overdraft costs, and can therefore further grow the offering of the Community Hub for all residents.
Donations can be made by internet banking- our account details are: 031369-0408975-00.
We sincerely appreciate anything you can donate and will provide a donation tax certificate for all donations.
