Your support is vital to our small charity in these challenging times.
It is no secret that these are challenging times for many small charities across the country - including ours. Your support can make a big difference by helping us sustain the project and maintain the beautiful building. So, if you'd like to continue to support us whilst we remain closed to the public, make sure you renew your Friends subscription in 2021.
This is a year of creativity and possibility. After the challenges of last year we will look forward to creating the year ahead together with you.
