Surprise Delivery
We had a lovely surprise delivery today curtesy of a kind supporter via our Amazon Wish List .

It is this kind of support that makes such a difference to a small, volunteer charity such as ours. With no central funding this support is invaluable. Please see our website to see all the ways you can support us. https://www.wight
