What is ‘Joining In’ all about?
Listed here on the Joining In! website are a wide range of community-based activities and things going on in the Westborough and Park Barn area of Guildford, Ash and Tongham and also Stoke (Bellfields and Slyfield Green), that you can be part of. Take a look by clicking on the pins and see what interests you. You will be more than welcome to go along and take part, or you could become even more involved and volunteer your services. The entries show how rich and diverse this community is and how much is going on here. These groups, clubs, organisations and events allow people to get involved, make friends, have fun and, if they want, learn new skills. All this in turn helps strengthen our community – and the Joining In! project is helping to make this happen.
