Magic at The Woodhouse Centre
I spent a wonderful morning in the heart of Oxted Community at The Woodhouse Centre. There were over 30 happy ladies and gentlemen crafting wonderful objects from birdhouses to jerseys and of course poppies for this years Remembrance Day.The enjoyment and friendship was palpable,and I felt this was a true expression of community.Such wonderful stories of what The Woodhouse centre meant to both the young and the older who were there. In addition the centre has links with Waitrose and other organisations in Oxted, just brilliant. A huge thank you to the volunteers and the Committee for all the time and thought and care that you give. thewoodhousecentre.org.uk
