Our Supporters

Our plans would not have developed to the extent they have been without generous help from our supporters and members of Mansfield and Sutton Astronomical Society. In particular, the following organisations have supported us with either financial contributions or pro-bono help and guidance. The length of this page is a testament to the wide range of support that we have received.

If you would like to join this band of organisations who have seen the potential in our vision, please contact Steve at projectmanager@sherwood- observatory.org.uk for more information.  If you would like to make a personal donation, please go to this link: https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/appeal/sciencediscoverycentre

 

Core sponsor

In 2021 and 2023 we were awarded substantial blocks of funding through the Towns Fund and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government respectively. These grants are administered and distributed through Ashfield District Council in partnership with the Discover Ashfield Board and they have been instrumental in allowing us to take our proposals to the next level.
