• space for groups, workshops and exhibitions.

• a link scheme between schools here and in Uganda which your school could join.

• a shop on the ground floor selling a wide range of fairly-traded goods- foods, crafts, textiles and musical instruments - allowing customers to make choices that make a difference

Membership entitles you to borrow resources free on payment of a returnable deposit as follows:

Non-members may still borrow on payment of a loan fee and the returnable deposit.
