Open Day 1st July Hunts Forum held an open day on 1st July giving people a chance to come and meet the team and find out just what we had to offer. It was a good day for us as we had Peterborough Pro Help in the morning with experts offering free professional advice. Hunts Forum staff enjoyed meeting people whom we had never met in person but who we knew by name only. The Moor Community Centre Cafe provided a splendid buffet.
