The California Toddler Group meets on Tuesday mornings, term-time only, at the Ratepayers Hall in Finchampstead.

We are looking for a volunteer to help between 9am and 11.45am, making tea and coffee and cleaning away.

The toddler group is attended by friendly parents, childminders and children. Please get in touch if you are interested.

Do you enjoy being outside and enjoying nature? Would you like to learn about conservation? Would you like to exercise without joining a gym?

Why not get involved with conservation work in our local woodland, Fox Hill woods on the edge of Woosehill.

Friends of Fox Hill is a community group with the aim of encouraging our local community to enjoy the woods and learn to appreciate the trees, plants, and wildlife.

It is a fun group for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism.
