African Themed Evening on Saturday 23rd April in Coombe Bissett hall was a great success. 

The evening had a most special atmosphere and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate how everyone has worked so hard to support and grow CRESS into the organisation it is now.

Many thanks to those of you involved, including the hard-working catering, waiting and bar team, Olivia for her insightful talk and of course Bishop Joseph for so brilliantly updating everyone on the true and significant local impact of our work in Uganda.
