Volunteering Opportunities with Mascot Hub

About

Brief History The Maybury and Sheerwater Community Trust (MASCOT) came into being in July 2011. St Paul's Church, Maybury, and St Michael's Church, Sheerwater, came together with the common aim of supporting the community in Maybury and Sheerwater. Working together with the local authorities, local voluntary and community groups, and the residents of these areas of Woking, Mascot’s vision is to look to strengthen community and promote transformation. Over the course of two and a half years much of the background work was carried out by our management committee to get the vision off the ground. Finally in February 2014 The MASCOT Hub is where work began. It is situated in the main parade of shops in Sheerwater and has itself gone through transformation from being a former hairdressers shop to a welcoming facility for us as a trust, for community organizations and agencies to engage with local residents. The transformation was a collaborative effort between Woking Borough Council, Brewers Decorating Merchant (Woking), the MASCOT management committee and local volunteers. A few months later after activities were under way in Sheerwater the focus turned to starting work in the Maybury area. The location chosen were the spacious and welcoming community halls at St.Paul's Church.
