We'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us in raising money for the Community Cafe. We have reached a total of £213,000 and with a few more grant applications to still hear from we are getting close to our target of £260,000. But, we still need help, any donation or fundraising event would be so appreciated. To give you a sense of why we are so passionate about the project we have made a little video. We hope it inspires more people and local businesses to support us. Please get in touch if you think you could help. https://greyfriarsringwood.org.uk/community-cafe-donations/

What an amazing day for our sleuths as they took on the challenge of our Walking Treasure Hunt! Around 70 people joined in and came back to Greyfriars afterwards for a delicious cream tea! A huge thank you goes to Mary Baldwin for all her hard work in writing the clues, to Amanda Loader for her amazing cakes and scones and the rest of the volunteers who came along, laid tables, washed up, organised a raffle and generally helped make the day so memorable! Thank you all! Pictured the winning team who won a tie breaker!
