Cornerstones - Other Funding


Local fund raising, together with donations and legacies etc, has produced about £230k in the past 2-3 years and an appointed fund raising team continues to be actively engaged with various fund raising activities.

 Grant Funding Bodies

Whilst we have been very successful with our local fund raising it was always accepted that a major source of funding would be from Grant Funding Bodies. In addition to grants received from the National Lottery, other major grants (those in excess of £1000.00) awarded to date can be summarised as follows: -

Garfield Weston Foundation

£50,000

BIFFA

£50,000

Bequest - Jean Priestley (part payment)

£40,000

Methodist Church Connexion

£35,000

Methodist Church – Newcastle District

£15,000

Durham County Council £10,000
Christ’s Hospital, Sherburn

£7,000

Methodist Church, Chester le Street Circuit

£5,000

Allchurches Trust

£3,000

Sir James Knott Trust

£2,000

Two Sub-Groups have been established to concentrate efforts into specific areas of funding, a Large Grants Group and a Small Grants Group. Significant contributions are also made by other members of the Steering Group in relation to these and other bids, usually when specialist knowledge is required.
