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 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.

Fingers crossed and “Thankyou” to all.
