AFTER 15 months of planning and hard work, the Bude New Life Centre (BNLC) was opened on Saturday, April 2.

A large crowd of invited community workers, service providers, councillors and community leaders gathered for a reception, tour of the building, lunch and the opening ceremony.

Many members of the Bude community crowded The Strand to join in with the celebration, speeches and cutting of the ribbon by North Cornwall MP Dan Rogerson and Rev John Glass (Elim Pentecostal Church General Superintendent).

The ceremony was led by Rev Roger Rowland, Pastor of Bude Christian Fellowship and CEO of BNLC.
