Many organisations have supported the community hub since 2022 but it was initially set up as a collaborative effort between us and St John the Evangelist with the support of Surrey County Council and United Reformed Church. The hub has also been supported by Oxted and Edenbridge Hygiene Bank, Moor House School, Track News Coffee Shop to name a few. After two years of success and a sustainable future, the running of the hub was given to St John’s Church.
