AN APPEAL TO PARISHIONERS OF HEWELSFIELD & ST. BRIAVELS
Are you aware that St. Briavels Assembly Rooms
belongs to YOU?
They are currently funded and run as a charity by
local volunteers - but your help is needed too, in
order to commence the final phase of refurbishment
which will include the Reading
Room.
All you need to do is -
'ADOPT A FUND RAISER'
Just 1 EVENT - Just 1 DAY
Just decide on something you enjoy doing with friends - such as lunches, gourmet suppers, coffee mornings, jumble sales, barbeques ~ and hold one in aid of your Assembly Rooms. It's a great & rewarding way to make a contribution back into our community. NO? Heart willing, but no time / energy / inclination? Would you rather maybe make a donation of some kind instead? Well you can donate here :) |
