Just though Id let recues know that action earth have opened their small grants again this year. They give away £50 for volunteer events.
I enquired about running a 'run rabbit run' event, asking volunteers(new and old) to come and spend a few hours cleaning hutching and making rabbit runs. They said the project does meet criteria so if anyone wants a small grant to pay for wood, wire mesh, hay and even refreshemets for vols have a look. The form is so simple and its basically first come first served. Its aimed at small voluntary groups so you dont have to have a load of paperwork.
/www.actionearth.org.uk/
Ive copyed and pasted my email to them and their reply.
Please could someone link this to fundraising if they think its suitable?
Hi Kiri
The rabbit runs would be absolutely fine as a project. You can down load
the form from our website or complete our on-line registration Form.
Kind regards
