The PFG Gains a Great Boost

It is simply amazing to be able to report that the PFG has secured a significant financial support boost.  The group has received funding to support us to grow, develop our skills and become a sustainable user led organisation.  It is no secret to anyone who knows our work that we work very creatively to raise well needed finances to continue with our work.  It is fantastic that we have gained such an astounding level of financial support from the Office for Disability Issues and we pledge that we will utilise every single penny to make sure that we can support more people in our community. We have some great plans for the future that are now achieveable.  We will prepare a report on our progress but can not express our gratitude enough.
