How you can help
We have now secured funding of the £3.5 million which will allow us to start on the restoration of the Woolmill.
But in many ways, that's just the start of the story.
We are now actively fundraising to generate funds to give the operating company a flying start.
These funds will be used to build up stock, buy some additional new equipment, develop new markets and part fund an apprentice.
So our donors and Friends are now more important than ever!

Once the funding to restore the Woolmill is in place, we hope to organise some volunteer parties to clear vegetation and help with the moving and restoration of the machinery. If you're able to offer any assistance, do let us know.
