Sculpture Update We are sad to announce that last week, when the sculptor went to collect the wood from the boughs of our Cedar tree from the timber yard, he discovered that it had all split and the quality of what was now left was not good enough to attempt a sculpture. We have now decided that as the sculpture was all about preserving the memory of our tree, we will not continue to fundraise for this project. Those people who have kindly donated, we will of course refund, but do want to thank you for your generous support of what we were trying to achieve for the centre. Those of you who came into the centre and donated, please come forward and we will refund you and those that donated on Just Giving, we are just working out how to refund you! Our very best wishes and thank you for your support.
