Welcome Change Café and Hall were delighted to hear in December 2013 that their bid to Big Lottery fund Reaching Communities was successful. The grant will fund a chef/trainer, centre Manager and Recovery support workers from 1st April 2014 for three years. Jo Mackinnon (CEO) said on receiving the news “It felt so good after waiting so long for the building, and then the building work, to hear that  BLF really believed in a project that I and others had been believing in and trying to get off the ground for two and a half years” This money will give us a real chance to grow and make sure it becomes sustainable.”
