Our new disabled access waterless toilet has arrived from @WooWooWaterless . A few days of volunteer time to erect the building now required. Thanks to Fagan & Whalley Ltd for delivering to site, and to Ethan, a former St Georges Mill Hill Scout who was the delivery driver.

We love this picture from today's One Voice #HAF programme. Our fire shelter helped keep 40 kids dry and happy 😀

Did you know: One of our first grants at the early beginnings of Canalside was a grant to purchase this barn from East Lancashire Masonic Charity. We have named the barn Acre House Barn after the farm which used to stand on this site.
