A jewel in the crown of the community

Farncombe Day Centre has been at the heart of the community in Farncombe for 25 years. Today, the centre celebrated its 25th anniversary, and the opening of the newly refurbished lounge. 

It was a jolly event, marked by Songs of Praise, followed by ribbon-cutting and tea and cake, and attended by the Mayors of Waverley and Godalming, as well as councillors, staff, volunteers, friends, family and many day centre users. 

These are a few photos of the afternoon, described by the Mayor of Waverley Cllr Tony Gordon-Smith, as the 'jewel in the crown of Farncombe'.
