Story
The website Wiltshire OPC Project was first started by the then coordinator Susan Penter in about 2007. The site was funded by Susan and her husband Michael Pearson until they had to make the decision to pull out financially. The site was gifted to Teresa Lewis who decided that she was unable to fund the site alone. It was decided to try and raise enough funds to keep it online for the foreseeable future and the initial target was reached in just two weeks. It was then decided to keep the fund going so that we can build a back up and emergency fund. The site is run by volunteers and the whole team would like to thank all who have donated. With your help and donations we will be able to keep the website online further into the future.
