We are currently raising funds for a number of special developments at Finchale Training College.

Elvet House
Finchale's 30 year old residential block, Elvet House, is getting a well deserved make-over. By knocking 2 rooms into 1, we want to increase the size of the study bedrooms and add a wheelchair-friendly shower, WC and wash basin to provide en-suite facilities of the highest standard.

We anticipate that this building project will cost in the region of £600,000.

We welcome donations of cash or materials that we can use in this project. From our Corporate Friends in particular, we welcome:

•  Sanitary ware  
•  Carpets  
•  Wall coverings  
•  Vinyl flooring  
•  Paint  
•  Kitchen and bathroom tiles  
•  Kitchen cupboards and equipment

To donate, please contact:

RHS Tatton Flower Show 2009
After last year's success at Tatton, Finchale will be exhibiting at the 2009 show. Our garden will explore the themes of recycling, solar power and water conservation and many of the materials used have been sourced from the College itself. A project of this sort will cost between £15,000 and £25,000. If you think you help with a donation either in cash or with goods and materials we could use please contact Suzanne Battersby:
