Hurdles!
Sadly, we've today discovered that our first application for a bank account has been refused, without reason, and without appeal.

It means that there will …

We're expanding!
We are receiving requests for help, and offers of donated kit, from as far as London (and that's not an exaggeration!).
We obviously can't honour that, but we do want to try and expand a little into the surrounding towns, as we are receiving several offers of equipment from just outside Stafford.
