Dear Friend, We expereinced a substantial delay to placing our order for the benches in late 2024 due to waiting the project funds to be released. This meant that we couldn't place the order until the beginning of January 2025. These bespoke benches take approximately 12 weeks to be made and we installed them as soon as they were ready last week. We now need to finish some painting next week before we invite the H&F Council team to visit to sign off the works and wrap up the seat project. We can hardly believe it! Our first audiences sat in the benches this week, and we've had lots of great feedback that they are comfortable and easy to use, which is wonderful to hear. We are so grateful to every donor and supporter who helped us make this project happen. We're so close to the finish line now and we are so proud of the results. We can't wait to welcome you back to our space soon. Thank you! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Big Hugs, Sharon and Leo xx p.s. We have some very big news coming soon; check out our website and socials from 31 March for the detaills. :)
