Ringwood Loyalty Community Badge Scheme

As one of my initiatives to strengthen and retain our wonderful major “RINGWOOD” Community Events for the benefit of Ringwood Residents I would like to announce the Ringwood Loyalty Community Badge Scheme:

We truly need YOUR support and ask you to do your bit in order to preserve these special Ringwood Community Events. Shop traders and local businesses are being called upon to help as always but due to these extremely tough times they are struggling to maintain their previous levels of generosity.

• Ringwood School will be asked to design a “Ringwood Community” lapel badge .
• A local supplier for such badges will be commissioned to make these badges at cost price.
•  Members of the community will be encouraged to donate £5+ to receive a Community Badge in recognition of their Community Support. This badge can be proudly worn at all times.
• Monies collected will go into a Charity fund “Ringwood Loyalty Community Charity Fund”.
• The charity will be registered and will have audited accounts.
• Accounts will be available to all that request electronic copies.
• The bank account will be held at Barclays Bank Ringwood.
• Monies raised will go towards the cost of “Ringwood Community Events” such as:
• Ringwood Carnival
• Ringwood Festival
• Ringwood Christmas Parade
• Ringwood Pedal Car Grand Prix
• Ringwood School will also be a beneficiary.

Please support this initiative; the aim is to support the Community of Ringwood in these exceptional times.

Yours faithfully,

Jim Stride
