Bethesda raises £1 million - now they have to find another £500,000
The Bethesda Trust has raised the £1 million required to keep their care home in Stornoway open – but now they have to raise a further £500,000 due to escalating costs.Despite the news that the project will now cost £1,538,000, the Bethesda Trust is confident that the money can be raised before the project is completed next summer.
Material donors to date have included the sales of the Salm CD's £100,000; Free Church of Scotland Social Fund £100,000; HIE Innse Gall £93,000; Mr Ken Sutherland & Family, Balallan £20,000 and the RBS/Dalglish Challenge £36,000.
Bethesda is a non-profit making Christian charity registered with the Inland Revenue. It is a purpose-built single storey building with landscaped garden and comprises a hospice wing with four single bedrooms and a care home wing with 21 beds.
