We are just blown away to receive an award of £15k from the People's Postcode Lottery

It is super to have funding that is "unrestricted" meaning it literally helps keep the lights on!

Thank you to all those who buy a ticket!

Thank you again to all those who play the Lottery and to the Postcode Local Trust for their support 💙
