MUSEUM WINS £1.7M LOTTERY GRANT
Great news!
Great news!
Grant awarded……. But...........
After a four year build up, and a huge amount of hard work our bid for development funds has been conditionally approved. We asked for £2.6m to develop Abbots Hall, the walled garden, the stables, Crowe Street cottages, and replace the conservatory. The HLF have granted us £1.771m on the condition that we raise the balance of £830k by February 2009. We are half way there already, however if we fail to reach our target the grant could be lost. We have therefore decided to launch the MEAL Appeal to invite donations to close the gap. Watch the Press and this website to see how you can contribute.
