It doesn’t seem that long since we were celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – hanging out bunting, painting everything purple and holding tea parties.
This year we are celebrating again and it’s something that many of you will not have experienced before – the coronation of a new monarch.
Beeston in Bloom would like to mark the occasion by installing a commemorative bench. We have chosen a design and are planning on installing it in a prominent position on Old Lane, outside St Andrews Church.
As our regular followers know, we have been successful in raising money from various sources, but at over £2,000, this is a considerable purchase.
I often hear people say they would like to help our group, but are unable to due to health problems or work commitments.
Well, here is your opportunity to step up. We know that times are difficult at the moment, but any amount however small, would be great.
This will be a legacy for our area and show everyone how generous the people of Beeston can be.
We have set up a donation page on the Local Giving website and to make your donation all you have to do is log on to localgiving.org/charity/beestoninbloom/project/coronationbench
However, we will also accept cheques, postal orders or cash!
