Hello everyone,
It has now officially been a year since the public meeting in June 2023 when we managed to pull together an A team of people to fight to save the National Glass Centre and all it embodies. I just want to take a moment to thank every single one of you for your ongoing hard work, hope and solidarity. I definitely would not have gotten this far without you all!
Tonight at the meeting we will look at the business plan, talk about Summer Streets, and update everyone about the letter writing campaign.
Next in-person meeting:
Tuesday 2nd July 2024 6.30pm to 8pm
At our new venue:
Redby Community Centre, Fulwell Rd, Roker, Sunderland SR6 9QU
