Fund Raising

Public Inquiry into Ollerton – Peplow Bridleway

A long awaited inquiry into this matter is due to start on 9th Sept 2025, and will be held at the Festival Centre, Market Drayton, over 3 days.

Many local folk reading this will have supported the (ClipCLOP) campaign in some manner (e.g. by providing evidence of past use &/or a donation) and many more will no doubt be intersted to learn more – and to maybe consider what they might be able to do to assist at this late stage (i.e. make a donation!).

AR Richards Fuel Campaign

We are currently offering our Head Office as a drop off point for donations to be taken to Poland to support Ukraine. The surrounding community have been amazing with their donations and our staff are currently sorting through donated items such as clothes, bedding, toiletries, toys, shoes and first aid items. We have our Artic curtain sider due for dispatch early next week which will require fuel, any donations for this would be greatly received. All funds raised will be for fuel with any remaining amount being used to purchase items for Ukraine.

We have the 2000-mile round trip to fund and we have set up the following Just Giving page:
