Those who know us are aware that we are more than a college running interesting courses…
We have just about survived without redundancies or defaulting on our mortgage. We are ticking along, still under some restrictions, which means we cannot operate at full throttle just yet.
A Donation of any amount (we are a self-supporting charity) will help us to get back on our feet and continue our vocation of lifelong learning in a special setting.
Thank you.
