Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub have kindly agreed to host this project and provide financial oversight. If anyone wishes to make a donation by cheque then please make payable to Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub and send to D Rafferty @ 9 Lymebourne Park Sidmouth EX10 9HX, or message me if you prefer using BACS transfer. The GoFundMe campaign links directly with SCCH bank account.

Great news in that NPS South West Ltd have confirmed their support for the ramp project. They are doing this as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility plan and this means that the survey and design work can go ahead straight away.

Also thanks go to Councillor Stuart Hughes who has confirmed he will give £1000 from his locality budget.

Keep spreading the word and encouraging donations as we still have a long way to go to cover construction costs.
