Over 100 people came to support our wonderful Harvest Celebration in the barn.

Thank you to everyone who supported us, especially everyone who donated their time and energy, wonderful produce and to Parsonage Farm in Upton for making the most fantatic BBQ meats supper. Hurrah!

An exhibition of cushions and quilts, Made in Prison.

The charity raised £ 14,000 over the weekend to help the rehabilitation of prisoners through needlepoint and embroidery. The Govenor of Albany Prison attended, and spoke about charities' volunteers bring a sense of 'anger management' to Prison by giving inmates an opportunity to constructively manage their days, and have a sense of achievement. Rt Hon Sir George Young BT, MP, dendoised fhe charity and how it is an example of how the community makes the change for itself, rather than relying on Central or local Government.
