At the 2007 Angel Dinner the Vision Project was launched to raise funds to implement a new lighting scheme and install a new electrical system throughout the Cathedral. The cost of the project is £750,000.
In December 2007 it was announced that the Cathedral had been granted over £500,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund towards the project. RCDC has raised a further £50,000 from the 2007 Angel Dinner, the 2008 Fashion Show and other fundraising events. We have received donations from charitable trusts and individuals of £38,000. The Mercers' Company have pledged £5,000.
We are hoping that the proceeds from the 2008 Angel Dinner will close the funding gap and finalise the fundraising for the project. Please help Ripon Cathedral reach the 2008 fundraising target by attending the dinner or sponsoring some part of the evening.
