You Did It! You Helped SAH Raise £33,125 in 6 Weeks!
A Message From Jack:
On behalf of everyone at St Anne’s House, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who donated, pledged, commented, and supported our #LoveSAH Crowdfunder. Thanks to your incredible generosity and time, we raised an amazing £33,125 from 505 supporters including match funding from Aviva, an incredible result.
Your support has made a real and immediate difference. We’ve already begun putting plans into action to make crucial improvements to the building and secure a long-term future. With your backing, we’re now in a position to start rolling out these changes and build momentum for what comes next.
This campaign has shown us the power of community, and what we can achieve when we come together behind a shared asset that we collectively love.
Thank you for being part of that. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Check out all the upcoming events, community activities, and the facilities here at SAH. We have our exciting annual community day St Anne’s Open House happening on 13, 14 & 15 of June, where you can come and celebrate our next steps with us!
All best,
Jack Gibbon, Director.
