KIND-HEARTED members of a crafting group have raised money to support a local warm space in Wotton. 

Fiona Shipston from Under the Edge Quilters organised a craft exhibition in October in a bid to fundraise for the The Keepers Community Hub. 

The event raised £500 and Fiona presented a cheque to Shaenna Loughnane from The Keepers last week (December 1). 

The Wotton community centre on Symn Lane has a community freezer and food store as well as regular skills sessions with professionals and weekly activities.

Warm spaces are places where people can gather for free in a warm, safe, and welcoming place if they are struggling to heat their home.
