Why are we having to move to a Membership Fee Model?

We have run this community initiative for 22 months, totally FOC, and, as gratifying as it has been, we cannot continue with this model.
  • We want to pay High Mead Farm as they have graciously given us FOC facilities for nearly 2 years.
  • We need to pay for some essentials on a regular basis:
    • new tools
    • ongoing PAT testing
    • tool repairs
    • key volunteers renumerations/expences
    • communications/online development/hosting costs
    • associated professional services/legal/insurance/accounting
    • incidentals/sundries
    • hidden cost associated with becoming a registered “Charitable Incorporated Organisation” (CIO) – Foundation Model.
