**What the charity does:** Duncan Place saved a former council run community centre from demolition, raised funds and had the building refurbished. We now are home to ourselves and several other charities. We also have 2 rooms used by even more charities for meetings and activites. These are also used by us to deliver a programme of community events, activities, classes and workshops: lego clubs, art for anxiety, laughter for health, community choir, chair yoga, tai chi, dungeons and dragons, and much more!
