It's returned! Our infamous coffee morning made it's return recently, and what a turn out! It's our first coffee morning since lock down and we're delighted to have raised £489.31!
We can't thank our volunteers enough, but the event especially wouldn't have been such a success if it wasn't for our aspiring bakers who produced a delight of desert!
Thank you all for all their hard work and we hope to see you at the next one!

We recently received a grant from Airdale Forestry on behalf of Sunderland Voluntary Sector Alliance. This was to clear out an area of shrub behind our Scout hut to build a summer campfire circle.
We're very pleased with the results and can't wait to use this in the better weather!
We'd like to thank everyone involved for all their hard work to create a space for the Scouts to enjoy.
