Crofting Life

A Plea For Someone Else…

Right folks, this needs your help. Financial help. So let me explain:

The information I’m sharing is not me, it is a lady I know. This is a one woman crofter (near Ullapool) who realised a huge potential, a potential for others: organising a course for women to do carpentry, and the opportunity that that cabin can offer and provide in the future. Fantastic! There are so few women in woodworking, carpentry, and joinery work as it is. Some of us never got the opportunity to give it a try, let alone build something. That is only one part. The cabin that is to be built is planned to use for education, an opportunity to introduce children to nature, environment, food. So this project is two fold,

But (and this is the important bit), to build a space needs resources and the cost implication in the current climate is a lot more than what most of us would have expected.

So, this project needs you! Are you able to forfeit £5 from your spending this week? Can you offer more? This project now needs a lot of generous people. Supermarkets, multi millionaires, and a bunch of companies out there seem to manage to get is to part with our cash and make a mint; can we change channels briefly, direct a bit of financial aid, and help this lovely lady and this project out?

In fact, do you have a business, maybe in construction, supplies, delivery, architect, conservation, woodlands, education, anything really, that could provide her with some sponsorship? If so, this is her crowdfunding page:

Crowdfund: Build A Sustainable Future

(PS, many of us find it hard to ask for help, it is much easier to ask for someone else which is exactly what I’m doing here (I am not involved with this project; all I’ve seen is a very determined woman who needs financial support so I’m being a messenger). Even if you aren’t able to donate, can you please share this post to see if we can help her reach the target. Sometimes life throws us lemons, lets help her make lemonade).

Many thanks.
