Centrepieces would like to welcome our new Arts Patron, Willow Winston. Willow is an international sculptor, painter and educationalist. She intends to become involved in Centrepieces’ art projects and workshops, helping support our artists to develop their potential. We believe that Willow will be a great asset to Centrepieces.

We would also like to thank our former Patron, author Isabel Losada, for her help over the last few years and wish her well for the future.
