One of our aims at the HRA is to strengthen our connection with younger residents by encouraging them to share articles on subjects that resonate with their generation and offer insight to the broader community.

This initiative is being run in partnership with Woking High School, whose staff have been instrumental in making it possible.

My sincere thanks go to them for their commitment and support.
