Today Lizzie Mickery (front centre) was privileged to go and receive on behalf of Friends of Felpham CIC a cheque for £1000 from the proceeds from The Felpham Community College Talent Show.
Lizzie was previously one of the judges at the sold-out sensational show, held on 26th March 2024. The winner, Karina Natkinis, will be performing the winning piece before Bill Nighy’s appearance on May 14th at St Mary’s Centre (see below).
In addition to this total, for match-funding grant applications, we can also add Gifts in Kind, whereby a contributor has paid for a service of value to Friends of Felpham CIC. For example, a donor kindly paid for a survey of the property; setting up the CIC at Companies House; printing costs were covered by certain heroic individuals, as was the cost of the banner proudly flying on the post office. To date, these gifts in kind total £3,619.48, thus making the grand total we can use for application funding £160,014.03
