Sign of the times?

I have been collecting news items ready for the next list and come across one about the Steps Centre in Leicestershire, UK.  They are having serious financial problems and need to raise money urgently to keep the centre going as they have only enough money to pay wages for one month..

A statement by Rosemary Conley, one of their patron's, can be found on their website at

This is a sign of the hard financial times everyone is going through at the moment and perhaps other centres are in a similar position.
