The latest!

​ For the past year the outer shell of the Lantern Centre has stood quietly while we raise more money to complete the fitting out.

​

Work is about to begin again on the lower part of the building where toilets and a small office/meeting room is going to be located. It is estimated that the works will continue between the months of March and June 2026, costing roughly £100k, the fruits of our fundraising over the last 12 months.

​

In the meantime, we announce …

​
