We have already secured £1.6 million for this project, largely thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. But we need your help to reach our target of £2.1 million, which will make the project reality.

Fundraising Events
To achieve our target there will be a number of events taking place at Ickworth this year. To find out more about future fundraising events, please do keep checking back to see what’s coming up.

Abseil off the roof of Ickworth
Sunday, September 20 2009
This has never been attempted before! A unique chance to take part in a completely exclusive abseil, from the roof of Ickworth. Participants will get the chance to scale down the side of the Rotunda, accessing a part of the building that they would not otherwise get the chance to see. Not forgetting the miles of magnificent countryside that can be seen from this height!

• Participants need to be over 16 years of age.
• Participants are required to raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship to take part.
• There is limited availability, contact Lisa Smith, Fundraising Manager on 01284 747500.

Donations
The National Trust is a charity that receives no direct government funding. Therefore, it's your donations and fundraising efforts that will ensure that these unique glimpses into our past are saved for the future.
