Our Programme Manager, Lisa says “We’re delighted to be taking part in The National Lottery Open Week this year. We’ve been fortunate to receive National Lottery Funding, which has enabled us to carry out a number of projects in the local community and continue to promote and preserve the history and heritage of Portadown as well as the local Loyal Orders, Military history and Women’s history. So, this is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has bought a National Lottery ticket, helped us on our journey and made a vital contribution to supporting good causes. We’re excited to welcome you back soon”.
