Thank you
Thank you to our supporters
We have been helped by a huge number of people and organisations, and we thank everyone very much. The depth and range of our support shows that we are doing something right!
Our "governors" put in many hours of time and occasional worry behind the scenes, keeping the Trust on track and providing guidance.
The Volunteers
Loads of people have put in their time and energy as volunteers - some are still with us, some have moved on. Some have been in a few times, some are here week in, week out. Thank you everyone - you've made this Trust what it is.
