Yesterday we had the pleasure of presenting a £500 cheque to the Royal Voluntary Service – Cornhill Centre in Banbury, which will go towards the upkeep and continued development of the sensory garden at the centre. 🌿

Mark Eyre (Worshipful Master) and Sean Abel (Secretary) were delighted to present the cheque in person to Ruth Maina, Centre Manager, and her colleague Sam Wheeler (volunteer).

The Cornhill Centre provides incredible support, activities and friendship to many people in our local community, and we are proud to be able to contribute in a small way to the important work they do.

We look forward to seeing the garden continue to flourish for everyone who visits the centre.
