BMC Mission Possible Fundraising – An Update
The total amount raised by February 2025 for BMC Mission Possible was approximately £239,000 of which £26,000 is specifically for the organ. This included bequests and furniture sales as well as direct giving and events. Recent contributions have come from a range of events, including sales of the church pews, a New Year’s Day lunch hosted by Wholly Ground, and a classical guitar concert by Sungbin Cho.
Since then the Gift Day on Saturday 8th March has so far raised £50,484. Donations are still being received.
Various grant applications have been made. On March 27th we were informed that BMC Mission Possible 2 has been awarded a grant of £120,000 from Benefact Trust. This is amazing news, and really encouraging for our continuing fundraising efforts.
