We have just received the good news that the Lottery have OK'd the release of our People's Millions grant.
Hundreds of local people phoned into a lottery competition to enable us to win this crucial £50,000 for the earthship build. This was in 2006 and the Lottery, quite rightly, were concerned about our lack of progress on site. This was due to a gap in staffing, many delays in getting the structure ready for building warrant approval and the need for further toilets on site. 
But now it's done and we can get on with the next phase.
Thanks to everyone who have supported us through this tense time!
It'll all be worth it in the end!
