Break
in at the centre
On
Wednesday 19th March HCGC was broken into. Some time between Wednesday
night and Thursday morning the office was broken into and ransacked.
As a result the centre remained close for the day and a computer
and work clothing were stolen. As the centre remained closed the
parent and toddler's easter egg hunt had to be cancelled at the
last minute, however this has been rearranged to be held on the
next session on the 3rd April.
If anyone can help with
replacing any items stolen please get in touch. We try our best
to offer a service to the community and are disappointed when these
set backs happen as we are unable to provide this service. |

Comments
about HCGC
'
A fab place, can't want to get planting the plants I bought. Your garden
is beautiful'
Tanya,
Reddish (Comments book - August 07)
''Health wise I have to say doing a days volunteering at HCGC is a better
work out than going to any gym. It also has the added bonus of helping
to cope with a stressful job, day to day life and just by being outside
in the fresh air'
Andrew, Volunteer
'Wonderful,
Inspiring. Generated enthusiasm and ideas'
Visitor from a community project in Wales
