A £20,000 grant through the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation provided additional funding for the tea-rooms, improved the gardens and paid for education activities for local school children.

Graham Walker, chairman of FoDA said " I am over the moon with this award, I can't believe it". "I would like to thank all the people who have helped over the past 10 years and of course the Northamptonshire Community Foundation for their continued support"
