What are we fundraising for?

Singleton Environment Centre does not receive any regular running costs from local councils, central government or any other source.

Singleton Spaces has to raise the full cost of the operation and does so from room hire, office rental and surplus from the Footprints Cafe. It pays for the Centre Manager, Cafe staff and running costs.

Everything else is down to the volunteer board and other community supporters.

Singleton Spaces is the charity running  a range of community and schools’ activities such as:

  • Knit ‘n’ Natter in the cafe
  • Repair Café Ashford in the workshop
  • Talk Programme

Children’s activities:

  • Buggin’ About
  • Storysacks
  • Self-guided trail to explore
