Fundraising

In previous years more than half a million pounds has been raised by Forth and Disitrict Initiative to fund the ongoing projects in the village – a new playpark, regeneration of the Recreation Park, Christmas lights on every pole in the Main Street, hanging baskets around the village and the very innovative Flourishing Forth Eco Project

Other local groups and organisations are also active in securing funds for their organisations and in bringing success into the village.

Funding is an ongoing concern for organisations all over the country, not just here in Forth, if you would like to help us by way of a donation or suggestions on future fundraising events we would love to hear from you.
Please use the Contact Page of the website to get in touch.
