The Armstrong Hall Trust (Thornbury Town Council) is seeking suitably qualified and experienced consultancy support to provide advice and assistance on the implementation of their fundraising strategy for the redevelopment of the Armstrong Hall.
The Trust has completed two consultations to determine the future of the Hall and where the Community would like to see the Hall sited. The last consultation completed in March 2018 showed overwhelming community support to see a new build Hall complex on the existing site. Architects have developed some initial concept designs which have been largely supported by the community and these have also had favourable response from the Planning Authority at the pre-planning application stage.
In 2019 a fundraising consultant was appointed to work with the Trust and community to develop a strategy for a capital appeal for funding. This strategy determined that the appeal should be set at £5 million to be a realistic and achievable figure. This strategy has been approved and the Trust are now seeking a suitably experienced fundraising advisor with experience in arts and culture to take the fundraising forward over the next few years.
