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.

So how about joining or increasing your shares in the lottery? You could be one of next months winners!
