Our Place challenge our whole community to join our fundraising Trading Game!

Our aim is that we start with a small object and keep trading with people for bigger and better items. At the end of June, which is our identified fundraising month, we will raffle off the final traded item and add the funds raised to our fundraising total for the month.

All you have to do is follow the progress of our #Trade offs' which you can do via our website www.ourplacecommunityhub.org Twitter @ourplacesutton or Facebook www.facebook.com/ourplace.sutton and of course join in and trade with us!
