Claire visits the Merstham Community Hub

Merstham Community Hub

I had the pleasure of visiting the Merstham Community Hub recently with Deano, Sara and Marcus from the Whyteleafe and Kenley Community Hub.

From a cafe and food club, to a repair shop, to library facilities - it's such an impressive set-up. Thanks so much to Cllr Mark Brunt for showing us around.

As many of you will know, the team in Whyteleafe have already established a food bank but are now looking to expand the services they offer along the lines of the Merstham Community Hub.

Deano, Sara and Marcus are true community champions and I'm really excited to see them continue to go from strength to strength.
