Starting from Scratch
We are building stronger links between Dunbury Academy and our churches and would love more people to come forward with ideas and offers of help. There is a course being run in Dorchester that might inspire some of you to have a go. I am booking a place for the 24th June - how about coming along?
Let me know if you are interested and I will forward you a booking form.
