The Feoffees and Thirteen of Tetbury
Firstly, whilst Christmas seems a long time ago, I wanted to send a thank you to Amanda and the team at Hobbs House Bakery, who kindly supplied bacon sandwiches and Peter Powell and the Creative team, who kindly supplied coffee, for all our volunteers who decorated The Market Hall and the Christmas trees. We would also like to thank the Dormers Close residents – Caron, James, Alex and Alison - who supplied and decorated the Christmas Tree in Berkeley Wood and ensured that the letters in the Post Box reached Santa safely.
I would like to start the new year, by looking back at 2017 and letting you know that we were very pleased to make grants to 30th September 2017 of over £25,000 to both Community Groups and individuals, these grants were:
