Thank you for your interest in Saving our Spaces. As you know, the Duchy of Cornwall is withdrawing from Bradninch which means that special community areas must be saved and secured for future use. To do this the current tenant, Bradninch Town Council, is purchasing the freehold of the following plots from the Duchy of Cornwall:
- The Football Field
- The Bithywinds Allotments site
- The Charwell Wetlands Nature Reserve
The Duchy of Cornwall has confirmed a package sale price of £26,400.00 for the three sites as a whole. This is the target the Council is aiming to achieve through fund raising and its own resources.
Your support and donations will help reach this target so that all three sites can be protected for a future Bradninch.
The Town Council has set up a secure payment system through GOV.UK in conjunction with Stripe. The GOV.UK platform provides added security, fraud avoidance and transparency.
All donations received are strictly confidential, donation information will not be published unless specifically requested by the donor.
To prevent money-laundering, there can be no refunds.
You can donate specifically towards the purchase of the football field, allotment site or nature reserve. Alternatively, you can donate into the ‘general fund’ if you don’t mind which land your donation supports.
Cheques payable to Bradninch Town Council can be sent to the Clerk at Dinneford House, Dinneford Street, Thorverton, Devon, EX5 5NU.
Standing Orders and regular donations are welcomed, the Council’s bank account details can be obtained from the Clerk (see below).
Cash payments only accepted from local collections.
Funds from the ‘general account’ will be used towards purchase costs and the ongoing maintenance and enhancements of all three sites.
Funds from the football field, allotment site and nature reserve accounts will be used towards purchase costs and the ongoing maintenance and enhancements of the specific sites.
The Council may need to apply for a loan to cover any shortfall in funding following this campaign – but the council will complete the purchase, so your gift is protected.
All donations are received in good faith.
Local Councils are not eligible to claim Gift Aid.
If you have any questions, please contact the Clerk on clerk@bradninch-tc.gov.uk
The Council will publish regular updates on the amount of funding received.
Thank you very much for your donation and for helping to secure our community land for future generations.
