Community Service
'We're for Communities' and work within our local community, whose assistance and support we value greatly.
Our current involvement is with Fulwell Community Library and the adjacent Memorial Garden, for which we provided 1,000 crocus bulbs.
We also set up a Memory Cafe, although this has had to cease temporarily during 2020 because of the corona virus Covid-19.
