Pedalling to Pickwell

Our volunteers and Friends at Barton supporters completed their 90 mile virtual cycle ride to raise funds for the Joseph Wright Hall on the 6th July.

They raised £600 which is tremendous.  Now we’re trying to get that to a nice, round £1,000!

You can still contribute to the fund to improve the lighting in the Hall – via Facebook https://gofund.me/45d585c3
