However, it costs £10,000 every day to keep all of our services running. The majority of this has to be fundraised, through events such as our Autumn Fayre."

"Not only will the Autumn Fayre raise funds to help us continue our work, but it will also be a chance for the local community to come together and have some fun."

"We hope you will be able to join us! There will be something for everyone, from games and activities for children to entertainment and stalls to keep the adults happy.

Plus lots of delicious food and drink. So come and sit in the sunshine, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy all that's on offer, across our lovely site."
