The Corn Exchange have announced that Englefield Charitable Trust has awarded £10,000 in match funding, via the Good Exchange, towards the Old Library campaign to create a new arts hub in Newbury.
With support from Greenham Trust, this historic building will become a permanent home to the Corn Exchange Newbury’s creative participation work, which provides a lifeline to many local people: reducing social isolation and loneliness within our community; improving mental health locally; and supporting young people in building confidence and self-esteem.
The match funding appeal is live as of yesterday (Monday, May 6), and every donation made through the Good Exchange will be matched pound for pound (up to £10,000) by Englefield Charitable Trust – so a donation of £25 means £50 for the Old Library campaign!
Can you help transform lives through the arts?
The Corn Exchange Newbury are asking you and everyone they know to support the Old Library campaign, and if you make a gift today, your donation will be doubled. Sixty per cent of the fundraising target of £2.6m has been reached but they still need your support to reach their goal.
