Methodist Homes for the Aged (MHA)
The Friends of Woodbank are a group of
volunteers proud to be associated with the Methodist Home in Woking.
Woodbank justly deserves
its reputation as one of
the best and most
desirable residential homes in the area. Many of the residents have
long connections with Trinity or other Methodist churches although
nowadays applications are welcomed from all older people in need
whatever their beliefs.
The Friends work to raise funds to supply those 'extras' not provided by The Methodist Homes for the Aged. Regular expenditure covers such items as outings, chiropody, newspapers and flowers.
