 30/06/2021 £206 The Men's Shed, part of the national organisation, is based in Rural North ward with a membership of 38. Obviously there is a need for a full range of PPE (goggles, face masks, dust masks, ear defenders, gloves etc) some of which has been donated by a manufacturer. I have agreed to fund the balance. North Colchester Men's Shed

 31/12/2021 £300  The Band was, as its name suggests, part of the Methodist Church, founded over 180 years ago. However, during the past 2 years the church has closed and the buildings sold leaving the Band 'homeless'. They determined to continue with the same name but without any affiliation. This coupled with the pandemic proved a very difficult time for them. They have now relocated to Filpots Garden Centre in Boxted and are looking forward to a very busy Christmas period, with over 30 events in the village and wider communities. They are looking to provide new uniforms for the 36 strong Group, including an ever increasing number of youngsters, which will smarten them up for the next stage in their illustrious history. The total amount they are seeking to raise is £4,500. Boxted Methodist Brass Band
