FUNDING AND SPONSORSHIP
We are completely self-funded, although we have now been the recipient of two Cheltenham Community Pride grants. Up until now we have run two major events a year - our Summer Festival and a Christmas Craft Fair - together with a number of smaller fundraisers. And we have had the help of more than 100 local sponsors. You can see our current list of sponsors here. We are enormously grateful for their support.
As our running costs, such as printing and insurance, have slowly been increasing we have just started a new monthly cash draw (that you can read about above) so that we do not have to worry about covering our basic overheads.
MEDIA COVERAGE
We have had masses of media coverage since we started and you can see the list here.
What to do with unwanted video tapes? Great news! They can be recycled & put to good use!
What to do with unwanted video tapes? Great news! They can be recycled & put to good use!
"Chris Evans, at Dundry Nurseries, takes video tapes and extracts the tape and re-packages it for use as garden bird-scarers, as part of the Butterfly Garden. He can re-cycle the metal and plastic parts. He also takes and re-cycles garden plastic, pots, trays, etc.
Dundry Nurseries is a good place to visit – not just for plants. They a range of socially and environmentally-useful projects, including The Butterfly Garden. Not surprisingly, Chris Evans is a Transition Town Cheltenham supporter." From Morgan via Transition Cheltenham.

More good news about all of those redundant VHS videotapes. I've just returned from the Swindon Road recycling depot (my exciting life!) and they do now accept the tapes, both precorded and blank.
This doesn't seem to have been communicated very well - for instance I couldn't see anything about VHS tapes on the council website when I checked recently. The attendant confirmed that they are recycled, however, and the green bins set aside for this are already filling up quickly.
