We would like to build an extension to our Early Years Drop In and increase our opening hours by employing a full-time Drop In Co-ordinator. The Vinci Foundation have generously donated nearly £30,000 to the project along with £6000 from further donations. This means we are currently seeking £100,000 to complete the project.
