Pike Bridge Project
Funding Appeal
The cost of the whole Pike Bridge Project is approximately £350,000
- this is about £200,000 less than previously estimated and much of the reduction
has been achieved through the input of Trust volunteers to the design, planning
and project management of the scheme.
Of the £350,000, just over £242,000 has been raised already through contributions from the Countryside Agency Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund grant scheme, Gloucesetershire County Council, Stroud District Council and the Inland Waterways Association. The Trust is very grateful to these organisations for their contributions and support.
This is the first time that the Trust has instigated and organised a single project on this scale. We need it to be a success both on the ground and financially so that we can do it again on other structures. Being able to do so brings closer the time when the Stroudwater Navigation and Thames & Severn Canal become accessible from the rest of the waterway network.
All donations, however small, will be appreciated but sponsors contributing more than £5000 will have the opportunity to have their name put on a commemorative plaque to be mounted on, or adjacent to, the new bridge.
Also, if you pay tax, you can Gift Aid your donation allowing the Trust to claim a very useful additional contribution from the Inland Revenue.
If you think the company you work for or other organisations you are associated with might sponsor the project, the Trust would be happy to provide more information or give a presentation - contact Ken Burgin on 01453 827414 or email: ken.burgin@pikelock.com .
