JUST ONE MORE STEP NEEDED AS VILLAGE FACES RACE AGAINST TIME FOR ACCESSIBLE PATH FUNDING

Findhorn was bequeathed money by the late David Urquhart to build a wheelchair access path along its shore and enable all visitors, regardless of physical ability, to enjoy the stunning views. David asked The Findhorn Village Conservation Company (TFVCC) to manage this project.

TFVCC has used this bequest as a basis to raise £170,000. We are nearly there, but still need a final £15,000 to meet funding deadlines. This has been achieved through successful applications to funders and by the support of residents in the Village by organising various events.

People of Findhorn have settled all over the world and they have a strong affinity with the village and many still regard it as home. We hope that this campaign of reaching out along with the launch of our crowd funding appeal will help us to raise the outstanding amount and enable us to commence work on the path before the end of November.

Why the launch at this time?

We need the final £15,000 because some of the secured funding has a time limit and beyond that date it lapses and can no longer be accessed. We have to ensure that the funds can be used to construct the path, as failure to raise this final amount may mean that we will not be able to go ahead with the project.

Thank you for your support in this project, we just hope it will soon ‘be on the ground'.
