What You're Saying

The wonderful buildings made available to us by the Lamp enable us to provide classes and self-help groups in a wide range of arts and crafts subjects in a way which enables our members to develop at their own pace and provides greatly valued social interaction as well as learning. Without the Lamp's support PACC would struggle to recreate the unique atmosphere of the classes in these historic buildings which provide inspiration for many of our members.
