Food is an important part of culture and traditional cuisine is passed down from one generation to the next. Food tells us who we are, and where we’ve come from. It is what defines us, builds, and creates happy memories.

Our fundraising art exhibition, A Letter in Mind, returns for its ninth year. This year’s theme …. ‘A Sense of Movement’….. takes its inspiration from all that we have been missing over the last few years, such as travelling to far-off places, experiencing new activities and moving through life in a stimulating world. Whether you are feeling that change is in the air or you prefer to take the theme literally, we hope that you’ll be inspired by this year’s focus for A Letter in Mind. The artwork … will all be priced at £85, exhibited at Gallery Different and sold via our online gallery.
