Who was Thomas Dunkerley

They always guarantee a warm welcome and great banter within the shed community. Activities include wood working and turning, pen making, bespoke commissions and community projects.

Freemasons donate £23,625 to Pembrokeshire People First
The grant will fund a part-time Parent Advocate role, who will work with parents for at least six months.

They attend meetings with or instead of their clients, which requires specialist knowledge of the legal and care system and an understanding of the emotional needs of the parents.
