The White Lion Is Saved – Thank You!

A massive thank you! Not only have we smashed our Crowdfunder target of £30,000 but, with your generous donations by cheque, cash and BACs – together with funding from the parish council, Palmers and takings from The Comrades Arms – we now have nearly £50,000.

It’s an incredible achievement, and demonstrates how important a roaring White Lion is to this community. Once we have signed the tenancy agreement, which is imminent, work will start on refurbishing the inside of the pub and kitting out the kitchen.

We hope to have more news to tell you very soon. In the meantime, stand proud, Lions, you’ve done brilliantly. 🙂

The Prout Project Successfully Reach Their Target

Together we did it!

🚌🌈👏 TOGETHER WE DID IT!!! 👏🌈🚌

We are speechless with excitement and overwhelmed with thanks to all of our supporters!

We just now found out we’ve reached our target thanks to a contribution from the Power of Change Community Business Crowdmatch fund providing us with an additional £4,000 in funding pushing us over the line. We can now buy and kit out an outreach vehicle and make this happen at last!!

We wouldn’t have got here without all of you, our super crowd – you’ve showed compassion towards our community, dedication to sharing our message and an abundance of encouragement and heart – THANK YOU!

Our campaign remains open until next Friday and any additional donations will be used directly to fund additional staffing so that we can extend our reach and offer a wider programme to our community.

Thank you so many times. We can’t wait to celebrate with you soon! 🙏👏🙏👏
