OBS Donors & Supporters

Heartfelt thanks to the many donors, big and small, who have and who are still helping us to keep our sessions running since we lost our County Council funding in 2016. In addition to the donors listed below many families have made single and monthly donations via our Local Giving Page. This list is not complete and we have had several significant anonymous donations. Many thanks to all of you!
