Edwina Curry visits
1977
“We tried to get funding from the Council, I remember Edwina Curry came down, before she became an MP, she was chair of Birmingham Social Services. We thought we deserved money as we were providing a social service, she was a very smart politician and outwitted us really. She was very impressed with the place and had a coffee, she said we should not put in a formal application as if it was turned down we would never get funding. We never got any.”
