Saving Christmas in the Village
We need to raise £35,000 to raise the Christmas lights again this year.
Donations are invited from members of the public or through sponsorship by companies to help with the fundraising. Donations and pledges have already started coming in from just £10 to an extremely generous £1,000.
Donation boxes are located in most of the shops in Blackheath Village, so please donate as much as you can to help brighten the Village at Christmas.
In order to encourage larger donations we have set up an incentive system. Anyone making a donation of between £1 - £999 are 'Donators'. Anyone making a donation of between £1,000 - £4,999 are 'Sponsors' and will have a logo and a link to their website on our home page. Anyone making a donation of more than £5,000 is a 'Patron' and in addition to a link and a logo on our website, will have their name on a plaque in the Village.
All cheques should be made payable to Blackheath Lights Ltd and sent to: Blackheath Lights Ltd, 13 Portland Road, Bromley, Kent. BR1 5BB. Alternatively, you can donate by electronic transfer to Barclays Bank Account: 23840417 Sort code: 20-49-81. All donations are very gratefully received, so come on, let's make it happen!
