We are very pleased to announce that we have raised £127,450 to date – 85% of our target!
We thank you all for your contributions.
The Board discussed the advantages of extending the share offer and agreed that a few more weeks can help us to reach our target of 150k and fulfil our plan to complete solar installations on 9 community buildings.
To date 6 community groups have signed up with NICE and we have received in excess of 30 expressions of interest from other local community groups and social enterprises. The following are those in this final stage agreement process for solar installation:- the Chinese Welfare Association, Rath Mor Creggan Enterprise Centre in Derry, Ashton Development Centre, YMCA Londonderry in addition to Mediation NI and Whitehead Community Association.
The new share offer closing date is on the Tuesday, the 23rd June or the day that we reach the target amount. If you want to help us to spread the news, please do feel free to do so. As members you share ownership of NICE so please do not hesitate to contact us with any comments and ideas and we are happy to meet with any individual or group to talk about NICE and its project.
In the coming weeks there are a number of local community events NICE plan to attend to share and talk about what we are doing. Details of when and where we will be shall be posted on our social media pages and news page of the website. Please feel free to join us at any of these events so we can put more faces to names.
