Winter has truly setting in and we turn our thoughts to the Advent season. It’s likely that you or someone you know will be excited to open their advent calendar to discover the picture, chocolate, or verse behind the advent calendar window. Over the next few weeks you’ll get the chance to ‘open the window’ of SBC and discover a little more about what we think are some of the best things about SBC. We hope you enjoy seeing a little bit more about what SBC has to offer and we would encourage you to spread the word or to get in touch if there is anything that piques your interest and you want to know more!
Behind the first ‘window’ is SBC’s Location (#SBCLocation – you’ll see these hashtags on the website and in use on Twitter to keep up to date with what is happening at SBC)
