Our target is still around £600K for the 'New Beginnings' development project. We have raised an amazing £525K so far, and have further grants in the application process, and of course donations and fundraising continue. So 'Nearly There'! Please help us get over the line.

To book a place please contact Bettie or one of the PCC team for tickets. £15 each. Includes food and a complimentary drink.
