VM WRS - Donations Wanted!

The 2024 VM WRS class are currently planning to restore the cubby house, located in the primary quadrangle and would like any donations of furniture for the interior e.g. kitchens, tables and chairs. Students are willing to refurbish items, so condition is not overly important, as long as it is suitable and salvageable. For any donations, please contact Rhys Thompson via the College.
