This is fantastic news and we're delighted that we could contribute almost £100k through our NCIL grant for this new pitch. We have no doubt that it will mean so much to the many people who will benefit from it.
Friday was the launch of the QPCS 3G pitch. Huge thanks to @IanWright0 for officially opening the pitch, as well as meeting our students and community. It meant so much to so many!
