Coastline pop-up shop

Thanks to everyone who supported us yesterday, from the helpers at the hall, to the soup and sandwich makers and to all who turned out. The day was a great success and we are delighted to say that we raised £376.80.

Thanks must also go to Lesley Ann for coming along with her Coast line pop up shop, to Tracey for her hand massage, Valerie and her team for the fab hair do’s , and everyone who pitched in to make the day such a success. As a small Development Trust who have a really enthusiastic board, we believe community engagement is crucial before any new projects are undertaken, so discussions yesterday took place about play parks, buildings, tourism, employment and have given us much food for thought.
