They did it! Congratulations to Miguel and his cycle team, the Stellar Stars, for cycling over 500 miles in just 3 days, the 2018 Extra Mile Auvergne Cycle Challenge. They need your help in hitting their £4k target to help purchase a rickshaw electric assisted bike so that we and the wider community can cycle again! They are looking for any support, so please give generously via Virgin Money Giving. For more information on the challenge check out Extra-Mile. Thank you!

GIV help local young people to build confidence, self-esteem and skills through supported volunteering so we got together to put on a show called ‘A Balloon For Granddad’ which was held in our Chrysalis Theatre. Everyone enjoyed our collaboration with inspiring young people and overall it was a great success! Thanks to Julia and everyone involved in the planning and preparation of the activity.
