SBADC COVID-19 Funding Update – December
At the start of the COVID crisis we set an ambitious budget to cover all foreseeable expenditure across a range of support we planned to offer – and which support you now see on our website and throughout the village and surrounding parishes, much of it delivered through the efforts of over 150 local volunteers.
In May, with fantastic support from village donations, local grants and some national grant funding, we reached that budget at just under £28,000. We think the response has been nothing short of amazing.
So far the calls on our funds have been less than we anticipated but the future remains uncertain and unpredictable.
We cannot be overconfident as it is possible there will be further COVID19 related issues over the next few months, including the possibility of further instances of lock down after easing. Additionally, as a charity, SBADC is always needing to raise funds for its long term work and we do not yet know the longer term implications for our work and the related need in the area as a result of COVID19.
Therefore we will never turn down donations, and all channels for donation will remain open.
We felt that it was appropriate to let you all know of the wonderful support which had allowed us to raise our target sum in less than two months in order that you can make your own decisions about donations into the future. Should circumstances change and our need once more increase, we will be sure to make that clear to all. Any donations received by SBADC in the future will no longer be attributed to COVID costs, unless we have formally restarted COVID-specific funding; this will be clear on the home page and this page.
Thank you.
James Hill, Chair of Trustees
