Local Building / Construction Recommendations

WE NEED YOUR HELP…

The Scout HQ project is continuing at pace and we now have detailed construction drawings which we can use to get cost estimates from local building / construction firms.

If you know of any local building / construction firms that you would recommend then please either comment below or send us a message / email (admin@23rdbromleyscouts.org) with their details.

We are also keen to hear from any Parents / Guardians / Group Supporters who are tradespeople and may be able to support

Christmas Fair 2023 Reminder

It’s only 5 weeks until the next fund raising event on Saturday the 25th November which will be the Group’s “Christmas Fair”. Please put the date in your diary so you can attend, have some fun and buy some bargains!

Could we please just remind you that we would be very grateful for any donations of unwanted gifts or nearly new items of toiletry/jewellery items and complete toys and jigsaws which can be delivered on a weekly basis to the HQ when your son/daughter goes to their Scout meeting.

All monies raised at this event will go directly to the Group Funds which are used for the maintenance of the HQ, contribute to Scout HQ improvement fund and general running of the Group.

Your support would really be appreciated.

Planning Application Approved!

We are delighted that our planning application for the HQ Extension has been approved by Bromley Council.

This give us the green light to start planning the works in more detail, start the mammoth fundraising task, completing grant applications and then get started on the works.

How can you help?

There are a number of ways in which you can help, including:

1) Keep an eye out for a number of fundraising events that will be organised to support this project.

2) Let us know of any fundraising ideas that you may have.

3) If you are aware of any grants that you think might be suitable for us to apply for then please let us know.

4) If your Employer runs matched funding schemes and/or corporate volunteering opportunities then please get in touch – there are a variety of ways in which this can be of use.

5) If you know of any local construction / building companies who specialise in constructing small extensions and/or bathroom renovations, please pass their details onto us.

6) In due course we may look to do some of the simple preparatory works ourselves, so please keep an eye out for working parties that may be arranged in the future.

7) If you would like to join the small working group that is looking into the fundraising and then delivery of the works, then please get in touch.
