Big Give’s Christmas Challenge. Double the donation, double the difference!
The Underfall Yard Trust are honoured to be a part of Big Give’s Christmas Challenge this year. From the 2nd – 9th December, every donation made through our Big Give page is matched by our champion funder Reed Foundation, and our pledgees Seetru and Wring Group LTD.
If you donate £1, The Underfall Yard Trust receives £2
Your support during the Christmas Challenge means we are closer to reaching our goal to bring back the buildings and facilities lost in the devastating fire back in 2023. Our Recovery and Reinstatement Project has reached its final phase of rebuilding our flagship workshop – The Big Shed – alongside its three adjoining structures.
Once rebuilt, The Big Shed and adjoining structures will highlight the legacy of the Yard with a like-for-like finished look, including our signature ‘Underfall Yard’ lettering for all of the harbour to see. We will also be instituting updated interior work so the unique nineteenth-century site is suitable for twenty-first-century uses.
Keep the craft of boatbuilding alive this Christmas
We are one of the last remaining Victorian-era dock maintenance sites that is still in working order, supporting the day-to-day operations of the famous Floating Harbour as well as hosting various maritime and boatbuilding businesses.
All donations will go towards inviting boatbuilders back to the Yard to continue their work, as well as facilitating educational programmes to help keep the endangered craft of boatbuilding alive in the UK.
