This is what our patron Professor Carl Chinn has to say about people volunteering to help to Save St John's:
“I am keen for people to come forward because the more volunteers who become active the stronger the message is that St John's should be saved and brought back into use for the community.
This vital element in Dudley's history must be saved and can only be saved if people act." |
