Harvesting the Rain: Hub Secures Major Environmental Grant for Collaborative Green Project!
We are absolutely thrilled to share some fantastic news for the Bromham Community Hub! Thanks to a brilliant last-minute application by our Trustees, we have officially been awarded a significant grant to take our green credentials to the next level.
We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant from theWessex Water Environment Fund. This grant will support our work to install a rainwater harvesting system that will divert the rainwater from the Hub roof into an underground tank. The water will then be pumped (using solar generated electricity) to a watering system for the Hub flower beds and grass. The Environment Fund supports charitable and community activities across the region that have a positive impact on the local environment. The fund is part of theYTL Wessex Foundationwhich provides dedicated funding for projects across the Wessex Water region every year.
A Truly Collaborative Effort
While the bid had to be officially submitted via our registered charity status, this project is a magnificent collaboration. The entire initiative has been shaped alongside the Bromham Gardening Club and the Charity Chicks group, who have been tirelessly raising funds—including their fantastic New Year’s Eve event—to make this bid possible. It’s a true village team effort!
Our Grateful Thanks
We would like to extend our immense gratitude to the Wiltshire & Swindon Community Foundation (WCSF) for administering the grant, and to Wessex Water and the YTL Wessex Foundation for their incredible support. This project will drastically improve our local biodiversity and ensure the Hub remains a vibrant, environmentally friendly space for all residents.
