That there Lucy Wood from the Saxon Hill Craft Barn shop at Chasewater Innovation Centre has written to let me know that they’re currently seeking businesses that may have waste materials they’d be able to supply to the project instead of throwing away, thus reducing refuse bills for the businesses concerned.

Support in mind…
I’ve been contacted by friend of the blog Vicki Phipps, who’s involved in something that’s very close to my heart, and I’m sure close to that of many of the readers, too; she’s setting up a local support group for folk diagnosed with early onset dementia and their carers.
