Headingley Development Trust: HEART reaches a milestone! Headingley Development Trust has reached the £100,000 target we set ourselves to raise money from the community. In May, we launched the second part of the community share issue, inviting local people and businesses to invest in the HEART centre, the old Headingley Primary School on Bennett Road. We had been given until the end of June by Leeds City Council to demonstrate ‘substantial progress’ in raising the £1.1 million needed to refurbish the school as a community and enterprise centre. The community share issue was just one part of the package of funding that the Directors of HDT have been chasing, and after two disappointments with Lottery bids, we are delighted that the community has been so supportive of the project. The share issue will be boosted by a further £50,000 grant from the Adventure Capital Fund, which they promised if we managed to raise the second £50,000 from shares. This will reduce the amount that HEART will need to borrow to complete the finance package. We still need your investment, though, as we need to try and finalise the refurbishment arrangements by September, when we hope that the Council Executive will honour their in principle agreement for us to take over the old Headingley Primary School as an art, enterprise and community centre for Headingley. If you have been intending to invest, but haven’t yet got around to it, it is not too late!	(Courtesy of: Fundraising Know How)
