Owned by London Youth and set in the beautiful Chiltern Hills near Amersham, this lovely old 17th Century Manor House, once occupied by Oliver Cromwell's family during the English Civil War, provides a kaleidoscope of training and activity opportunities to almost 5000 youngsters who attend courses at the House each year.
For some it is their only break from the risks and confinement of inner city life. For many who return, year on year, it is a journey to opportunity and discovery. For all, a visit to Woodrow High House represents a unique and intensely rewarding experience which will assist the passage along the often difficult journey from childhood to adulthood. In the last couple of years we have hosted very successful holiday and respite programmes for young people with special needs through London Youth's Activenture programmes. These programmes provide superb activity courses but also provide volunteering opportunities to healthy and able-bodied teenagers to act as "buddies" to their disabled peers. In addition, families and carers can enjoy a well earned break from the unrelenting demands of caring for a disabled child.
The vital work and development of Woodrow High House is very dependant upon charitable donations as well as the local fundraising initiatives undertaken by the dedicated team of fundraising volunteers named the Friends of Woodrow. For further information of how to make a donation or how to join the friends of Woodrow please contact JOhn Fidgett on 01494 433531.
