Welcome to 3rd Farnham Scout Groups fund raising web site with the goal of raising the funds necessary for a much needed refurbishment and repair of its 200 year old headquarters, Daniel Hall, located in the centre of Farnham. Fund raising through grants and other activities has been very successful. Sue Hepburn and Robert Humphrey, who are leading the grant applications, have secured over £180k towards the £220k target. The major grants have come from Farnham Buildings Preservation Trust, SITA Trust and Surrey County Council Community Improvement Fund. Smaller but still vital grants have been gained from Betty Riseley Trust, Round table, Lions and Farnham Institute. This refurbishment is vital to ensure that the group continues to offer adventurous activities and personal development opportunities for young people in central and east Farnham. Without this work the group will not be able to continue its success in doubling its membership in the last 10 years. The repair and refurbishment will provide both structural and amenity improvements including the following: When refurbished, the hall will provide a community facility that is currently missing from the central town area. Background and History 3rd Farnham Scout Group has been established for over 100 years. Our approach focuses on: Daniel Hall has been part of Farnham’s heritage for over 200 years and is listed as a building of local historic significance. It has been a home for Scouting for over 80 years, the Scout Shop for over 30 years and, more recently, a home for a Girl Guiding Company. The Scout Shop provides a service across Surrey and Hampshire with all profits going to support Scouting in Farnham. The building started life supporting the brewing industry as a hop and grain store and latterly became a furniture store. In 1929 it became the new home for the 3rd Farnham Scout Group. The hall was named after Arthur Daniel who was Group Scout Leader at the time and who played a key role in raising the funds to buy the building.
Bradford Disability Services Limited, better known as Disability Advice Bradford (DaB) and Disability Equipment Bradford (DeB) is a long established and respected Registered Charity. The organization was first established as The Bradford Voluntary Action Group for Disabled Persons in 1979 as a result of five disabled people coming together to press for their rights and to overcome the discrimination in many aspects of daily life that can affect the lives of disabled people. The ‘office’ was a room in one of the founder member’s houses. Since then the charity has evolved in many ways but the organizations core values still remain the same. Our aim is to empower people with disabilities, carers and their families, living within the Bradford Metropolitan District, to achieve and lead a high quality of life within a modern and inclusive society. We will achieve this by providing professional, non-judgmental and confidential services that will facilitate and improve independent living and equality.

Reading Samaritans are one of about 200 Samaritans branches across the UK and Ireland. Together, we provide a service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing emotional support to people experiencing distress or despair, including thoughts that may lead to suicide. Our service is confidential: we dont judge and we dont give advice. We do listen and provide human contact for people, some of whom may be in very great distress. We can be contacted by phone, email, or face to face by dropping in to our centre in Cholmeley Road in the Newtown area of Reading. All our work is carried out by volunteers, but we still have a building to maintain and bills to pay: it costs us around £100 per day to keep running, and we are entirely dependent on donations. Every day our phone rings over 100 times. Your support will allow us to keep answering it. Thank you!
