We did it! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated so generously to the Burton Futures campaign last week and helped us to reach our target.
We raised an incredible £5,085 in just seven days, £5,000 of which was matchfunded to make a total of £10,085. Your money will make a real difference to young people’s access to art and art education in North Devon.
We are also very grateful to the Big Give and the Arts For Impact fund for providing the matchfunding, and to all the artists and creative professionals who shared their wonderful early art memories on our social media.
Now the real work begins!
The £10,085 raised will be used to support:
- Bursaries for rural schools across North Devon to travel to The Burton
- Bursaries for our Art Box to visit schools with an artist
- The work of our Teachers’ Network, which supports teachers to embed art in their classroom practices
Details of how to apply for travel bursaries and other opportunities funded by the Burton Futures campaign will be released to teachers after the Easter Holidays, at the end of April. If you’d like to ensure you’re notified, please email carole@theburton.org to be added to the Burton Teachers’ Network mailing list.
We will be publishing updates here and on our social media accounts (Instagram and Facebook) to track the project’s progress over the coming months.
