Fundraising Lottery
The trustees of the DVCA would like to thank all players for their very generous support of the DVCA Lottery. It has enabled us to furnish the centre with much needed equipment since it began in 2016. However, with numbers of players continuing to dwindle and the end of the financial year approaching, it was felt that now is the time to wind up this fund raising activity.
Consequently, the lottery is now closed to new players and we are arranging with existing players for their lottery payments to come to an end. Once again, thank you all for your support, which is much appreciated.
If you would like to help the Centre with continued support, please visit the Fundraising page on our website to find more information.
