Conservatory entrance to Snowball Lodge – In the autumn of 2016 Snowball Plantation were successful in their bid for £1000 of funding towards the conservatory entrance to Snowball Lodge. This will allow the young people to be able to remove their outdoor wear before entering the building and keep the inside of the main hall clean and uncluttered.
Thank you Aviva Community Fund for providing this opportunity to organisations like ours, and make it possible for us to provide additional facilities that benefit our future generations.
