Charitable Status!

Today The Grand Pavilion Limited announced that it has been registered as a Charity . This is the second pillar we needed, from which we can build the next stage of our project for the Pavilion. With this news we can now announce new things: Firstly, we will be launching “The Friends of the Grand Pavilion”; which allows us to tap that great pool of support we have in the area – and wider afield – and start the process of raising the large amount of money needed to complete this project. We will have various levels of member, depending on what people want to give. These gifts can be “gift aided” giving us the tax benefits we are now entitled to. “’The Friends…’ group is launched with our first Patron, Simon Groom, who spent much time in The Grand Pavilion as a youth. He may never have become the nationally famous celebrity that Simon now is, had he not had his eyes opened to the world; by the events organised in the Grand Pavilion in the sixties. We hope to be announcing more patrons over the next few weeks and months. To pull all this together we are also launching a new website; http://www.thegrandpavilion.com/ , which will belong to ‘The Friends…’ group. Gregor
