Fundraising- Can You Help?

Latest fundraising events:

Jumble Sale, 1pm – 3.30 pm on Saturday 12th December at Barlow Village Hall

Please come along and pick up a few bargains! Donations of good quality jumble, or cakes/mince pies etc to sell would be appreciated, as well as volunteers on the day if you can spare some time. Jumble can be dropped in advance at Dunston lodge, Dunston Lane, Chesterfield, S41 9RJ (either at kennels reception 10am-4.30pm, or house – 01246 453 770)

Christmas Get-together – 5pm – 10pm, on Sunday 13th December at The Olde House (function room), Loundsley Green, Chesterfield

There will be a children’s entertainer from 5pm until around 7pm, followed by entertainment from a local theatre group, Young Inspirations Theatre Company. There will also be a raffle/promises auction. No tickets are required but donations on the door would be appreciated. So everyone is welcome to join us for this event. As well as fundraising we thought it would be a good chance to catch up with all the people we’ve got to know over the last year or so, and have a few drinks before Christmas! Donations of raffle prizes (perhaps from local business owners you know of) or promises (e.g. the offer of your time/skills) would also be appreciated. Although no tickets are required it would be helpful if people are able to indicate whether or not they intend to come so we can get an idea of numbers (cai@dunstonlodge.com)

Fundraising

All professional/legal fees and the cost of printing leaflets, posters, etc. have been funded entirely by public donations and through fundraising events.

We are still raising funds to help pay for the solicitor, Marrons, who has been representing the campaign group for over a year now and has presented the legal/technical side of our case at key meetings.

Funds are also needed to help pay for printing of leaflets and posters so that we can keep raising and maintaining awareness of these proposals and in particular to ensure that everyone will be aware of the date/venue of the final decision meeting, so they can be there to hear what happens.

If you can help in anyway please contact cai@dunstonlodge.com or cheques, made payable to ‘Chesterfield Against Incineration’, can posted to Chesterfield Against Incineration, C/O Dunston Lodge, Dunston Lane, Chesterfield, S41 9RJ.
