| I wonder if the school has tried crowdfunding? For instance there is this group who are crowdfunding right now to raise enough money to keep on showing the film they have made of turning their street into a Power Station. Their street is in Walthamstow and the film is now being shown not just all over London but in this country and abroad. There have been several articles in the national press. Their current crowdfunder donations are being matched by Aviva and this particular crowdfunder runs out tonight or tomorrow - can't remember which. There are quite a few companies that do this. With energy costs the way they are crowdfunding for solar panels etc should or could help them to bring their costs down. Brandlehow is a Grade II listed property but there are churches which have installed solar panels to reduce their energy costs (including Salisbury Cathedral) so it can be possible on buildings where you just might not expect to find them... However there are also communities raising money for other projects. Of course you'd need to check and know that you meet the guidelines. But maybe they don't need to do that and they have some past pupils or their parents who would love to help out? There is masses of infrastructure in this country that has not had as much TLC as it could have done with and should have had - including Hammersmith Bridge of course - and with climate change with the sudden heavier cloudbursts and high winds it brings there will be an even greater number of buildings that will need to pay more attention to their roofs - and gutters etc (ie making sure the gutters are big enough to take the extra water). This is why you also see rain gardens and other methods nowadays of slowing rainwater down on its way to the drains. |
