organicARTS is launching a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to make an old farm building into a usable space for creative activities.
The charity runs a range of outdoor activities for all ages and abilities, working with over 3000 people a year
but… what happens when it rains?
The Challenge
Cold, wet weather can make it difficult for visiting groups and individuals. Having a dry, warm, indoor creative space will allow people to stay longer and to learn new skills in a well equipped space without struggling to do things in wet raincoats with cold fingers. Our staff and visitors will benefit from a dedicated space focusing on using natural materials from the farm e.g. wool for spinning, weaving and felting.
“To be able to dodge the showers and collect materials and then bring them to a dry space to work will be so wonderful” Sessional Worker
*It’ll be a great place to have tea under a roof and make things
when it’s raining”

Campaign Launch Party
There is a Launch Party on Monday 27th August from 2-4 pm in the organicARTS Community Garden at West Town Farm. Come and sample some creative activities and enjoy a cup of tea and homemade cake.
The Crowdfunding Campaign is running from 2pm Monday 27th August to Monday 24th September
Rewards
There are many wonderful rewards so not only will you be helping others but you could also learn new skills and meet new people in the process.All these rewards have been given for free by our wonderful staff, trustees and Friends. Look out for workshops, walks, birthday parties and more on the crowdfunding website in the rewards section
Please make your donation by going to:

NB This link goes live from 2pm on Monday 27th August and so you will not be able to see it before then!!
The Target
We need to raise £6000 so If 300 people donate £20 each we can reach our target. That would put a smile on a lot of faces : )
Please can you help?
We know from our last successful crowdfunder for our minibus that it is the personal contacts that make the most impact so please spread the word to friends and colleagues, look out for and share updates on our social media but please remember the campaign is launched at 2pm Monday 27th August.
Come to our Launch Party from 2-4pm on Monday 27th August
We hope to see you at the farm and thank you in anticipation.
