Here’s some really exciting news.
The Henry Samuel Hall restoration fund has received a surprise £10,000 boost to its funds.
This was thanks to Mayland residents Nick & Karen who picked a golden token out of a bag of blue tokens in Tesco and chose to donate it to us.
Henry Samuel Hall has been one of three charities people could choose to give their tokens to since the beginning of October 2022.
Normally Tesco community projects are awarded grants of £1,500, £1,000 and £500. To celebrate £100 million donated to local community projects across their stores in October and November Tesco decided to offer 100 golden tokens worth £10,000 pounds each, ‘a golden grant’ to 100 community groups.
We are one of the lucky hundred!! What a phenomenal windfall.
We are all so excited. We are planning on getting the clock running and hopefully refurbish the toilets. We would like to thank Tesco and Nick and Karen and everyone that supported us.
