As you all know, Arts Barge reached our target early and we're now the second successful project on the York Spacehive - busy bees! But did you know that there are other great projects on the hive still looking for support? For as little as £2 you can help another initiative get off the ground and really get our community buzzing.Take a look here https://www.spacehive.com/initiatives/york at what other people are doing and spread the word to friends - there's something for everyone on there! Thanks again and warm wishes from us, Marce, Hand, Christian and Jane

NAILED IT!10 years ago

Thanks Robin Bowes for taking us over the target! And thanks to every single person who pledged, shared, tweeted, emailed, phoned and generally supported our campaign. We did it 10 days ahead of schedule:) We can't take any more donations via the crowd funder site but if anyone still wants to donate and enter the Big Beautiful Barge Book of Backers so that all of posterity can see how you made a barge happen - you can do this here... https://localgiving.org/charity/artsbargeproject/ More updates on what this means once we've had a glass of wine:) Have one yourselves! You've earned it! xxxxxx
