In order to be able to make grants for local projects and organisations, the TDCA has to raise funds. One way we do so is through the 200+ Club.
The 200+ Club is actually a lottery, for just £1.00 per month, you will be entered into a monthly draw and the opportunity to win cash prizes of up to £50.00.
Over 50% of the money raised by 200+ Club goes to local causes, while the rest goes back to our 200+ Club members, so everybody wins!
Anybody can join, and being a member of the 200+ Club also makes you a member of the TDCA. It costs so little and contributes so much to local life.
