A snapshot of the work we carried out in 2020
We adapted as best we could to meet the needs of the community during the pandemic. Some projects had to be halted and some new ones were started. At times we had to close our doors but always remained (and remain) available to the people who need us.
Thank you so much to all our committed company trustees, volunteers, staff, funders and donors who together make this work possible.
We have lots in the pipeline for 2021 so please follow our Facebook page to keep up to date!
