It was lovely to meet the team at our member group SLEAP’s new headquarters in Leyland last week.
Thanks to Stela and her co-workers and volunteers for welcoming me and for showing me round the superb new set up which will hopefully further enhance the services and assistance provided by one of the area’s longest established and most well regarded charities.
