Stained Glass Appeal
AMAZING GLAZING Crowdfunder March 2019
We reached our target of £10,000 in just 4 weeks. Not only reached it, but smashed it! Supporters very generously gave a total of £10,683 via the crowdfunder site and we've also received cheques in the post and gifts of cash too.
So, with gift aid added, the total raised for the Amazing Glazing stained glass appeal was an amazing £18,117!
This meant that we could fully restore the beautiful Windmill window in one of our key event spaces, and we placed the remaining £8,117 in the Stained Glass Fund. A subsequent very generous gift to from a longstanding Friend of Victoria Baths means that we were able to commission restoration work on the first window in the Females Pool and this will take place over the winter of 2019/20.
