Since the Green was completed, we have had to raise the money for ongoing maintenance work locally. Attracting enough volunteers with time to achieve this can be a problem.

A couple of years ago, we decided that we should aim to raise sufficient capital for the charity so that the interest will pay for maintenance and repair work. This is why we launched the Woodcote Millennium Green Patrons scheme.

Since its launch 76 people have supported the appeal, indicating how much they appreciate the Millennium Green. We need only another 24 people to contribute to enable us to hold our prize draw, details of which are included in the notes overleaf.

Prizes include a week's stay in an apartment in Barbados, and with only 100 people in the draw, the odds of winning are good. All you have to do is complete the Donation Form and, if contributing by Standing Order, the Standing Order form which should then be sent direct to your bank.
