MAY we express on behalf of everyone at Farfield Mill our immense gratitude to all your readers who helped make our community share offer such a roaring success.
More than 700 people, many from Sedbergh and district, even more from South Lakeland and beyond, invested in our innovative community share offer.
It is an extraordinary display of confidence in the future of Farfield Mill.
With nearly a quarter of a million pounds of private investment matched with £100,000 of public sector support from Power to Change, your readers have put us in a position where we can implement our plans and give Farfield Mill a sustainable future.
We cannot end without thanking The Westmorland Gazette for reporting our campaign. When you wrote about us, investment in the mill went up. It just goes to show how important it is that our communities have an excellent local newspaper reporting on local news and issues.

Manager of Farfield Mill
