Today Iskcon Leicester celebrated their annual Rathayatra or Festival of the Chariots at Cossington Park in Leicester. This festival is the biggest of its kind outside India, where it has its origins. Iskcon Leicester had a stand with information on the Roof Appeal and collected pledges and donations from the visitors. Tonight it pledged a whopping £10.000 towards the campaign! Many thanks for this kind of support. We are almost there now, target - and time wise. One more day to go!!! If you are thinking of supporting this incredible cause, act now! You have until midnight tomorrow....

We like to thank Leicester City Mayor for the £2.000 pledge received this morning. Great support for this Roof Project. Together with the other pledges received recently, the campaign jumped up to 80% funded, with 3 days to go! Thank you all for your support. Anyone considering this Roof Appeal project, pledge now!
Friends of Goddard's Roof Appeal received £10.000 this morning from Iskcon Leicester in support of our campaign. This donation represents funds received by Iskcon Leicester in regards to the roof restoration, by members of the public who for one reason or another are not able to make a donation through the Spacehive website. We would like to thank of all of you out there for your support, it is greatly appreciated. For those people wanting to make a donation in cash or by cheque, please contact Friends of Goddard and we are more then happy to lead through that process.
Friends of Goddard has an informal presentation this morning with members of the 'University of the Third Age/Architectural Group'. The topic was the Leicestershire Banking Company building, its architect Joseph Goddard, the original drawing books of the building itself and Goddard's former residence 'Knighton Spinney' and last but not least the future plans of the building. It was a friendly and interesting couple of hours and the members attending donated £55 towards the Friends of Goddard's Roof Appeal. Thank you so much for this, its very much appreciated! Hopefully we meet again during the Heritage Open Days in September.
We just received a massive £5.000 pledge from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation towards our Roof Appeal project. An incredible boost for us, with only 9 days to go! If you were thinking of supporting this project, then now is the time to make that pledge and pull this project over the line. Thank you all for supporting Friends of Goddard.
