At Carey Baptist today, our ‘after dinner mints’ (regular guest speaker spot after Tuesday lunch) guest was Mark Grantham, accompanied by his Dad, Chris, and another lady (whose name escapes me).
Mark, despite his cerebral palsy induced disability, has done very well with what he has. He advocates internationally on behalf of disabled persons, and sells [...]

We are helping Freeset refurbish their new building to expand their business. Freeset make fair-trade, organic, eco-friendly and [...]
