Events and
Membership
A key
aim during the year has been to raise and maintain the profile
of the Trust, and to help fund-raising to support the Project
as a whole. We have seen a
steady rise in numbers of Members of the Trust, to a present total in excess
of 160 (we have 500 as a target).
The Trust has been delighted with
the support and encouragement provided by the Community, and has been particularly
pleased that the initial view of some “that it will never happen, and
should be a Council responsibility” has all but disappeared. We have
been fortunate in having a very keen and supportive representative from Moffat
Academy, Murray Towers, involved with the Trust. We have been able to work
with and present to the Academy at various times, and our Logo was developed
following a competition with Senior pupils within the Academy.
The
Trust Subscription is £5 per year or £15 life membership and corporate
membership is £25 per year and Junior membership free.
We can't stress enough the need for more members of the community
to
sign up
for membership.
It will demonstrate to our funders that the community are fully
behind the project.
Also as we are a registered Charity is is
also possible to 'Gift
Aid'
to the
Trust - thus
emabling
us
to claim
back
some
of
your Income Tax for the benefit of the development of this
historic building
We need as much support from the Community in terms of Members
and volunteers, so I hope that we can achieve our aim of 500
Members within the coming year. Please come and support us!
