We’ve hit the jackpot!

Community Cafe, Community Hub, News & Events
Thanks to generous donations from National Grid and the National Lottery "Awards for All" scheme, we have just purchased a minibus which will be ready in the near future to ferry elderly and disabled residents (and those without transport) to and from the café, and to take them to various social, medical and recreational venues.
