A huge thank you for your help with the St Martins collection in December.
We are delighted that the grand total raised was £30,279.14. We couldn’t have done this without the help of our wonderful, committed volunteers who give their time to stand in the cold throughout December to collect cash and card donations.
Some stats on the collection:
- £24,683.14 in cash
- £5,596 on card machines
- A total of 430 volunteering hours
- 220 individual people took part
The money will be used to pay for the activities we put on at our learning and development centre Under 1 Roof. The centre receives no statutory funding; it is supported by fundraising and donations from local people and businesses. St Martins has recently been hit hard financially by the increase in National Insurance which has increased our salary costs by £140,000 and cuts in Norfolk County Council funding which totalled £260,000.
