Forever Manchester Autotrader Fund 2024

Forever Manchester awarded us a grant of £861 to buy long lasting tables that can be used for all of our community events. Previously we were reliant on using heavy trestle tables which were difficult to set up and store. These tables will make a huge difference to our members, volunteer and the local community who attend our events. With the right equipment we can run more, better quality and engaging events - practicality makes things happen! The tables came out for their first appearance at our Spring Tea Party where members and their family, friends and supporters united to celebrate the start of the growing season with tea, cakes and camaraderie.

Mike at ConvertMy provided a full day (fully staffed) with a mini digger that helped us clear bramble roots at the border of the carpark and the border at Westborne. Use of machinery made a huge difference to how we could manage this task.
