Fund Raising for Orwell Past & Present
All Orwell residents, past and current, are urged to contribute their memories and photos of Orwell life in any period, right up to the present day. Please help us to make this site a success with your contributions and comments.
But in addition to your memories and photos we also need funds to keep the website running and to pay for speakers at our meetings. Hence you have the opportunity to support us, whether by becoming a paid-up member of Orwell Local History Society, by making a donation (always welcome!) or through the purchase of items of which, from time to time, we will inform you. Of course, we also acknowledge the financial assistance given to us by the Heritage Lottery Fund, but that was essentially to cover the initial set up of the website including the purchase of the software and training.
