FUNDING UPDATED: AS AT 2ND MARCH 2026 WE HAVE RAISED £41,000! HELP US REACH OUR TARGET OF £60,000.
Imagine a wild, green haven in Easton – open to all.
The Future Portland Community Benefit Society (CBS) has been set up to support our community to have a stronger voice and more influence over the things that happen to Portland.
We are currently working to secure two acres of France Quarry for the community. We’re doing this to help protect the area from potential development – a threat that has raised its head on several occasions. To make this vision a reality, we need to raise £60,000 by the end of March and are seeking your support.
You can help in three ways:
- LOVE ART? Thanks to some amazing local artists, we’re holding a France Quarry Art Auction. This is a great opportunity to buy some fantastic work and save a much-loved green oasis at the same time. Take a look at the pieces up for grabs HERE
- DONATE to our pre-purchase legal and survey costs (target £5,000). Click HERE.
- PLEDGE Towards our purchase costs (target £55,000). Just complete a simple form. No money taken at this stage – you are just pledging. Click HERE.
Every donation/pledge strengthens our case for community ownership, so we can:
- Save a cherished green space for health and wellbeing
- Protect a vital habitat for wildlife
- Keep this land in community hands for public benefit, not private sale! Let’s protect this peaceful place where people and nature thrive together.
PLEDGE FORMS AND MORE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN HELP IS AVAILABLE HERE.
FORMS ALSO AVAILABLE FROM ICA’S OFFICE, EASTON.
