Latest News on the Mosaic

£2,800 fundraising target was achieved to pay for digital and practical surveys, this being the first part of the project
The second stage of the campaign was to raise £15,000 which would guarantee the mosaic would be safe from demolition.

In the short time available the Society was not able to reach this target and Kettering Borough Council, agreed to provide an interest free loan for one year enabling Oliver Budd Mosaics to remove the Mosaic before 31st July 2007.

The mosaic was successfully removed and transported to Oliver Budd’s workshop in Kent where it will be stored (free of charge) until required.

Fundraising is continuing (donations, no matter how modest are all gratefully received) and the Society is applying for grants.

The third stage will be to raise between £40,000 and £50,000, to pay for the re-establishment in Kettering Leisure Village.
