We’ve had more good news on funding this week, with Yatton Parish Council pledging £1,000 for the provision of disabled toilets for the cafe – as long as we can get funding from the Department for Transport’s ‘Access for all’ scheme, which we’re waiting to hear about. We’re grateful to the council for their support, which continues to push up our total.

There are a couple of additions to the web site to point out – first, you’ll see that there’s now a button on the left which you can use to donate to the project using PayPal. Although we’re doing well with our grant funding, we still need to match a lot of these funds with money we’ve raised ourselves, so please help if you can! There’s also now a presentation about the cafe on the FAQs page – this describes the project in a few slides, and sets out where we are now.

Meantime we’ve been looking down drains… the toilets in the cafe obviously need to connect up to the sewer somewhere, but we don’t know at the moment quite where this is. We’ve therefore had engineers flushing dye down the pan and seeing where it comes out – hopefully they’ll find a drain soon and avoid having to dig our own!
