Telephone Line Disruption - advance notice!

On Monday 18th March, our electricians P H Technical Services (SW) will be moving us from single phase power to three phase power. We will be temporarily disconnected from power and so our telephone lines will be out of action during the afternoon (noon - 4pm). Apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused.

Climate emergency

In 2019 we responded to ongoing environmental concerns, declaring a Climate Emergency and exploring this thematically through our programme. Our ongoing aim is to make our environmental action plan as embedded as our approach to tackling isolation and addressing diversity. We aim to reduce our carbon footprint whilst increasing our reach and impact, and use our strengths in storytelling and community engagement to enable others to explore this issue and do the same.

One deadline. Many lifelines. This is the climate clock. Take Action.
