Dear Blogger
Message from Elund at Derwen College. Do support the wonderful Derwen College if you can - their nursery is a great place to find bedding, shrubs and perennials for your garden.
Good morning,
Derwen College has a busy May planned with a college Open Day and the annual family favourite, the Summer Fete.
I have attached details of both along with posters and a couple of Summer Fete pictures.
I would be really grateful if you could help promote these events in your publication, website or social media pages.
We thank you for your continued support of Derwen College events which help to raise money towards Derwen College Charity – supporting students with learning difficulties and disabilities in their learning, independence skills, wellbeing, care and social skills.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need further information or images.
Kind regards,
Eluned
