Many congratulations for the fantastic work you do. It's organisations like Changing Lives that do indeed, change lives and communities. Government, County and local levels need to take note an massively invest in such projects in all localities. Harlow especially, such organisations can spend more time struggling to find suitable buildings and raising funds than working with children and communities. That's no sense and fundamentally flawed. Brilliant achievement guys, well done.
