In February 2010, an ‘in principal’ grant offer of £78,000 was
made by the Board of Directors of the Pilsworth Environmental Company (PEC)
following an application from FORCH in conjunction with Bury Council. Bury
Council had made a funding commitment to PEC to support the bid for the
further refurbishment of the Hall.
So
FORCH’s fundraising has never been more important.
