A huge THANK YOU to Danny from Oven Cleaning Stevenage - Ovenu who did an absolutely fantastic job cleaning our centre's oven and hob this week - all done with eco-friendly cleaning products and, he did it for us, free of charge!
As a local charity, we really do appreciate it when local businesses are able to support us.

How disappointing that people think it's fine to drop their litter by our steps.
Please take your litter home with you.

It was five years ago today that we held our very first community Book Swap. And look how far we've come!
We held the first one in our smallest hall, Hall 3, and weren't even sure whether we would hold another one!
Now, five years and 15 book swaps later, we use Hall 1 *and* Hall 3 and regularly get about 200 people coming through our doors to swap books and enjoy the refreshments on offer.
We are proud that we have kept this as a free event so that access to books is available to everyone.
Thanks to all our Trustees and volunteers for their help in making our book swaps such a success. Here's to the next five years!
