Wow what stars you are, we are overwhelmed with the fabulous comments and generous donations towards our cause. What an amazing community we have.
This was a campaign for a month and we thought we may just about hit £1000, after hitting this in just 48 hours we stretched the target as we still have 3 and a half weeks to go! The target has been stretched again and then again and as said before....wow and of course thank you. We are at our final target now of £3000 and have just under a week to go, it would be fantastic to hit this, so if you are able to share this post one more time we would be very grateful.
All your support will help us enormously when we open our doors again.....hopefully soon.
I will let you know how we do at the end.
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! ... See MoreSee Less

With great sadness we have received the news that Francis Smith has passed away. Francis set up and ran the Art Resource Centre at the Pump House where artists met weekly to paint and create. Their output has regularly brightened the Pump House and brought in new perspectives.
