Updates
As we head into Autumn we will now be reflecting on our Summer making hay at Bar End Meadows. With your support we have recruited and trained over 20 Magnificent Meadow volunteers. We have undertaken traditional meadow management at a number of sites across Bar End , engaged with local schools and carried out garden surveys to help people realise the importance of the unique chalk meadow grasslands in south Winchester. Your support has enabled us to set up a brand new project and we are now looking at the feasibility of extending it further in 2025. Many thanks for your support. We couldn't have done it without you!
Dear Supporters, Thank you so much for your donations. We are very grateful for your support. We are writing to share an important update regarding our funding model. As you know, our initial approach was the ‘All or Nothing’ model, where we would only receive the funds if we reached our target. Unfortunately, we are unable to access grants to boost the donations in our crowdfunding. Because of this, we have decided to change our funding model to ‘Keep What You Raise’. This means that we will keep all the funds raised, regardless of whether we reach our target or not. We believe this change will provide us with a better opportunity to continue our project and deliver on our promises to you, our incredible backers. With your money and some additional funds we have accessed outside of Spacehive we will be able to undertake a feasibility study to extend our meadow project to more sites across Winchester and also organise some health & wellbeing sessions to allow people to experience the healing powers of nature. We understand that this is a significant change, and we want to assure you that this decision was not made lightly. But, we hope that you will feel that it is the right way to proceed. Please feel free to reach out to us at CPRE Hampshire at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns about this change. We are here to answer them. Thank you once again for your understanding and continued support. Alison & Rachel CPRE Hampshire , Landlore consulting
