A crowdfunding appeal aimed at raising money for a sculpture of the recently deceased Minster Cat (Gerald) has raised £750 during its first 24 hours.
It is understood that the new sculpture could become part of York’s famous “cat trail”.

The, trader led, Acomb Alive organisation has been involved in the installation of small illuminated Christmas trees outside local shops (left) to create a festive atmosphere for the last few years.
Acomb Alive has also funded a large Christmas tree outside the Gateway centre.
This year (2016) they would like to add to the festive atmosphere with the installation of festoon lighting in the main shopping areas.
Please support the project and help to get Acomb looking even more festive this year.
They are using the new “Spacehive” crowdfunding site which has already had at least one success this year.
