Help Erlas Victorian Walled Garden grow a future!
Recent successes have meant that we can now fully commit ourselves to the further development of our wonderful site. We want that future to be built on:
• Broadening the offer we are able to make to those with personal challenges of all types; especially those with learning disabilities. This might include new training courses, new work experience, new personal development opportunities or increased day care facilities.
• Opening the site to wider community access; especially those with an interest in ecology, environment, history and natural produce. This might include new site attractions, new opening hours or new facilities.
• Including more people; especially those who value the Garden’s character, setting and position. This might include other charities, educators, health/care providers, voluntary groups, clubs, societies, shoppers, families, etc!

We have also been successful in reaching the final rounds of a number of Community Awards: Can I ask you to vote for us in the following?
The first one is for the Local Co-op Community Fund, and we are one of 3 local charities chosen to be awarded a share of whatever funds are accrued from Co-op members using their membership cards when buying Co-op branded goods, between April and October 9th 2017. We could win up to £4000, if we are the most popular charity to be voted for. Please go to coop.co.uk/membership to make us your cause.
The second one is with the 300th Anniversary of the Masonic Charitable Foundation, and we have been chosen as one of 4 North Wales Charities to win either £25,000; £15,000; £6,000 and £4,000. To cast your votes, then you need to go to mcf.org.uk/vote, and select the “Wales, North” province, and vote for Erlas Victorian Walled Garden. You can vote only once, and by July 31st please.
Coming soon! We are one of 3 local charities to reach the finals of the Tesco Carrier Bag Fund, and from 1st July through to 31st August, as you shop at the main Wrexham Tesco Superstore LL13 8HF, with a purchase of any value you will receive a token (you may have to ask for one!). Then you place the token in the ‘box’ for Erlas Victorian Walled Garden. 1st prize is £4000, 2nd prize is £2000, 3rd Prize is £1,000.
Fingers crossed and “Thankyou” to all.
