Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Shortly after the buildings were opened a long-term plan was developed with a view to increasing the activities as well as the footprint of the building. The Centre owns and runs its own purpose-built nursery along with an outdoor play area. This has enabled the organisation to increase nursery numbers but also to vastly improve the offer.
