FUNDING
Funding is inevitably the 'crux' of the project. Here we provide a breakdown of ‘known’ albeit estimated costs. We can use these figures to signpost progress and the monies required.
Thanks to the direct support of some service providers, we are delighted to present adjusted figures. You will note that the revised estimates show a reduction in estimated costs by some 48%.
