The Ollerod makes the Prout Bridge Project their charity of the year

We are so excited that our close neighbours on Prout Bridge, the Ollerod, have just made us their nominated charity for the rest of the year. We want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone on the wonderful Ollerod team for their support.
