HARRINGWORTH APPEALS FUND

What is the Appeals Fund?

The objective of the Appeals Fund Committee is to co-ordinate the raising of money, for allocation by the village at an AGM (or EGM), through activities and events. The committee must ensure that the funds raised are for the benefit of the village, with the expectation that the upkeep of the Church and Village Hall will receive the appropriate priority. The committee must also ensure the distributed moneys are accounted for in an accurate and self-explanatory manner.

How are Funds raised?

The Appeals Fund has been active for over 40 years and examples of events in recent years have included:

• Bridge lunch
• Summer fete
• Flower festival
• Christmas Artisan Market
• 100 Club
• Guest talks in the church

Events are organised by the hard working Appeals Committee, alongside many others who come forward to help. Funds are also supplemented by donations from other activities, such as the annual Safari Dinner and paid advertising in the village directory.

Why not join the Appeals Committee?

The future success of the Harringworth Appeals Fund in raising money and engaging with the community is down to everyone in the village. Over recent years many people have either taken a key role on the Appeals Committee or helped in a significant way at events. We are always looking for new committee members; if you are interested or would like further information, please contact the committee chairman using the link below. 

An Invitation to Appeal – Distribution of Funds

The constitution of the Appeals Fund does not allow the Appeals Fund Committee to spend the funds it raises. This is why the AGM in the spring is so important; Harringworth must decide the way the money is allocated. If you have an idea for an Appeal, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please email the Appeals Fund Committee with any questions or ideas to enhance the community, to join the committee or for more information on how to make an Appeal.
