PRIVATISATION:

 

In February the committee received a certificate to show that we are now incorporated as a private company and that the company is limited by guarantee

 

MORE FUNDRAISING INFORMATION:

 

One of the requirements of PEC’s grant offer is that in addition to the money raised so far we have to secure match funding of at least 10% (£7,800) from another source.  This is also known as the 3rd Party Contribution.

 

For this reason, FORCH (in conjunction with Bury Council) has submitted a new application to the Community Foundation for Greater Manchester for a grant to cover the 3rd party Contribution. 

 

A decision is expected in May 2010.
