Request Details
I am in the process of setting up a new workshop where I intend to make various crafts available to the Devonport community. Amongst other things I plan to run Craft Therapy sessions for adults with mental health issues via the medium of blacksmithing.
I recently bought several hundred kilos of Anthracite solid fuel for the forge which is necessary for the lessons and I was hoping to get some help paying for that please.
Many thanks
