21 facts about the Centre
This year the Centre is turning 21, and we’re just a little bit excited (and not just because it gives us an excuse to eat cake). We’re so proud of the Centre’s growth and progress, and we’re so happy we’ve been able to help around 5,000 organisations in those wonderful 21 years.
