| About us | We are a group of residents who set up a SCIO to take on a community asset called The Old Schoolhouse, with the purpose of providing a community gym, business hub and spaces for the community to use. This would improve physical health, mental health, help with social isolation, bring the community together for events, workshops as well as bringing services to the local community.

| Our Wish | We are am organising a Christmas event at The Old Schoolhouse in Abington for the local villages and are looking for help to get a Santa's Grotto set up and source some presents for approx. 50 children. We would love to have a massive Christmas tree at the front to welcome the community and really set the mood for event. We have already organised a face painter and hope to have a selection of food vendors there on the day, as well as local crafters.
