DJ spoke about the great loss of a dear member in Kevin Carr. VC members are still in shock, but VC are supporting the family through both assisting with the exhibition and possibly KC’s assets.
The golden Vultures could not be nominated as this will take place on the night of the final performance of the play.
( addendum - Lorraine and David received the golden Vultures, VC gave thanks to the sculpturist Phillip McHugh )

We provide an opportunity for individuals to experience the personal benefits of taking part in the use of creative arts and in particular in relation to how this can help individuals to develop and grow.
Here is a sample of some of the creative work our members do.
