Any contribution is vital and extremely welcome, so don’t let this page which includes sponsorship opportunities, put you off donating whatever you feel you can afford.
For example, if just 600 people chose the restoration of the garden as their Christmas charity and donated £50 (plus Gift Aid) we would be able to match the government grant for the new Japanese designed entrance and be confident we could open the garden to the public in May 2018.
Gift Aid Form (PDF)
The donation figure includes immediate landscaping and access. The donors who sponsor a structure will be listed (if desired) on a commissioned plaque in the new Pavilion positioned at the entrance to the garden.
Lifetime Membership: £25,000 (donor listed on Lifetime plaque, access on all public open days and invitations to Trustee hosted events).
List of Friends of Cowden on commissioned plaque: £1,000 per friend.
