The Bluebell Railway still needs just under a million pounds to complete the extension to East Grinstead. As part of their fund-raising, they have been accepted for the Reed Foundation’s "Big Give" Christmas Challenge which enables them to obtain some match funding for the extension.
What they have to do is raise £30,000 in 5 days (starting at 10am on 5th December) through the Bluebell’s page on the Big Give web site. Any donation made in that week will be matched POUND FOR POUND by a combination of their major supporters and the Big Give’s sponsor funds.
If you are eligible for Gift Aid as well, this will, for example, turn a £10 donation into £22.50 for the extension project.
