We would like help with fundraising, if there is anyone who would be able to give us some of their free time to put in bids to trusts and charities, or organize fundraising events for our project.
Plans
We don’t have any new plans at the moment as we are waiting to see if our funding bids have been successful to keep in employment two of our workers. However, we are always open to new ideas and would be very happy to discuss them.
