In addition to the generous funding from Biffa Award, we have also received invaluable support from The Cobtree Charity Trust and the Blakemore Foundation. We would like to thank The Cobtree Charity Trust for their letter of support and kind grant towards the project, as well as the Blakemore Foundation for their kind donation.
We also want to say a huge thank you to the local residents, schools, nurseries, community groups, volunteers and families that wrote letters in support of our funding application. We really could not have done it without you, and we hope you will visit next year and try out the new platform.
In the New Year, work will start at Tyland Barn to remove and recycle the old platforms. Our Wildlife Habitats Officer is working with the contractors to ensure there is minimal disruption to our wildlife, and our volunteers are working hard to prepare the site.
The new platform will be installed towards the end of winter, in time for it to be enjoyed in the Spring. We will keep you posted about its progress, so make sure you check out our social media channels for updates on the project.
