Fund raising

The Courthouse Project is supported by:

Yorkshire Forward, The Community Fund, Market Town's Initiative, Regional Arts Lottery Programme, The Countryside Agency, The Foyle Foundation, Heritage Fund of the National Lottery, The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Charles Hayward Trust, Otley Town Council, CIT, The Kenneth Hargreaves Trust, Sir George Martin Trust, The Seed Fund (RSNC), Lord Harewood's Charitable Settlement, The Yorkshire Bank Charitable Trust, The Emmandjay Charitable Trust, Doyle Carte - and for generous support in kind from Leeds Development Agency.
In addition, the Leeds Development Agency has assisted us in kind by granting us a 25 year lease on the building at a nominal rent.

Local fundraising is also crucial to the project's success. If you would be prepared to run a jumble sale, coffee morning or go on a sponsored - anything - let us know.

Huge thanks to all the local groups who are doing benefits for us - it really makes a difference and builds towards the £15,000 we need to raise locally.

Events in the near future:

'Via Ferratas and the Italian Dolomites' Slide Show with mountaineer John Smith. Helpers needed to sell tickets at door and for refreshments. Monday February 9th, 2004 - 7.30pm Otley Old People's Welfare Centre, Crossgate, Otley (next to the bus station) See poster page here.
