DONATIONS NEEDED
Winter/Spring 2008

As the Dartmoor National Park have refused us planning permission to continue this sustainable project, we are launching an Appeal to the planning Inspectorate. This is likely to result in a public inquiry sometime this year.

The Appeal involves paying solicitors fees, and witness fees and expenses which will amount to up to £15,000. We urgently need to raise this money to support our Appeal and the project.

If you wish to make a donation, please make a cheque payable to 'Affinity Woodland Workers Co-operative' and send to Steward Community Woodland, Moretonhampstead, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ13 8SD. Or you can send money direct to our bank account:
Triodos Bank, Bristol
Sort Code 16-58-10
Account No 03421700

If you wish to donate over £100 and you are a UK taxpayer, you can donate by GIFT AID which means we receive an extra 28p for every £1 you donate. Please contact us so we can let you know how to do this BEFORE making your donation.

Many thanks
Dan, Peter, Merlin, Beccy, Son, John, Sef, Mel, Chris, Owen, Daz, Becky, and all the children
