Thank you to all who were able to attend our Duke House opening events last Friday, despite being a bit muddy underfoot, it was a truly sunny and joyous occasion.

What an amazing opportunity!! Our very own Trustee Sanjay is now sharing his wisdom across the ditch. Sanjay has helped so many of our young people overcome anxiety/depression so we are delighted to share he is now helping so many others.
