Roof Fundraising & Updates

The Burrow roof has been leaking and a new green roof was required. Fundraising has now reached £41,000 and enabled us to start on the roof replacement. To reduce costs a number of volunteers removed the soil from the roof and the roof has been replaced with a new watertight system. Our ongoing fund-raising hopes to see Solar Panels & Batteries installed to reduce the Burrow running costs.
