Whitby
in Bloom 2011 - What Now? - Fundraising
Whilst
Funds are important to us in Whitby in Bloom many of our ventures
have been the result of spontaneous donations from those who have
admired our efforts. The primary reason for many of our events is
to spread the word and to include those who wish to work in partnership
with us. It’s the sharing that matters most. We don’t
measure our success in £. s. d. Substantial Grants have however
been secured by many of the partnership groups, most notably the Friends
of Pannett Park securing almost £2 million from the Heritage
Lottery fund.
Whitby Town Council have for many years provided annual sponsorship
to enable us to maintain a strong financial base for core needs. The
services of their Deputy Town Clerk as Secretary have also been indispensable
to us.
