Ways the CHR raises money

We seek project funding from a number of sources.
  • Local Joint Committee - small grants
  • Heritage Lottery Fund, Europe and LEP - larger grants
  • Other Local funds

We also have steady income from:
  • Donations
  • Membership Subscriptions
  • Driver Experience Courses
  • Special Events - such as Christmas, Easter and other times
  • Sales - Tickets, Shop, Buffet
  • The Cambrian Lottery

By careful timing, selection of projects, good management of funds and, of course, the generosity of members and volunteers - in time and money - we balance our books each year.

Funding is Critical to Progress.

Donations, subscriptions and profits are put to good use.

Please help in any way you can.
