Our virtual Duck Race is back, so let's have some fun. Between now and the end of June 2024 we'd like to see what your duck has been up to! Read on for further details.

The first Pitch4Pounds awards have been made and other bidders invited to make their 'pitches' in May when they will give a brief account of what the funds are needed for and how they will benefit the local community.
