FoWT wins Community Award

We were delighted in September to receive one of the 'Community Project Awards' made by insurance giant the Royal & Sun Alliance. The sum of £500 and certificate were presented to FoWT trustee Frank Hodges "in recognition of voluntary work undertaken on behalf of Friends of Williamson's Tunnels". We are extremely grateful to RSA for this the second award they have made to the tunnels' cause.
