SPACE, a mental wellbeing and health charity located at St Mary’s Church in Aylesbury, has recently received support in the form of £1,000 from a local housebuilder to aid its services in and around the local area.

Barratt David Wilson Homes, which is building its Canal Quarter development at Kingsbrook on Burcott Lane, utilised its monthly Community Fund to aid the charity’s expanding range of support services.
