Part 1: TWO FREE BOOK LIBRARIES LEWISHAM

Part 2: TWO COMMUNITY PIANOS LEWISHAM

My fundraiser is to help cover all the expenses I have so far incurred, which are as follows:

Pt1: In the Spring of 2023 on my own initiative, I created at Lewisham Station two free book libraries and a free book library in Lewisham Community Space (Shopping Centre South Mall),

Before having the network of volunteers with transport, I incurred expenses of £100 to facilitate an initial supply of seventy five boxes of donated books, then £100 to collect a single donation of over three thousand books.

£175 for the purchase of two bookcases incuding transport.

I also needed to purchase stamps and ink bottles which are essential to prevent donated books being taken for resale.

In addition I also incurred expenses on the purchase of brackets so help make the bookcases (seven in total) secure and durable posters.

Pt2: To replace the life expired badly damaged existing piano at Lewisham Station I incurred transport expenses of £250 this included delivery of the 'new' piano and disposal of the existing piano.

In addition I paid £120 to have the 'new' piano professionally re-tuned. This took ninety minutes.

The other piano recently donated to Lewisham Community Space, will cost me £70 for a re-tune.

Since setting up the Free book libraries both have been received most favourably and the positive feedback and donations of books (mainly by appeals) has been off the scale.

Securing the replacement piano for Lewisham Station and Lewisham Community Space I consider will be of much benefit to the community.

I give up a lot of my time willingly to curate the libraries and sorting pianos, so I hope my unavoidable expenses all for community benefit can be met by this appeal.

THANK YOU.
