We are building our Wyndham Library of Stories
Our Library of Stories will share stories about community, culture and history of Wyndham.
In a busy world we it is important to carve out moments to share ‘what brings us together?’
What are the things (and places) that bring us together and unites us as a community in Wyndham?
Let’s discover our common interests, places, universal values, hopes and fears for the future.
Through story telling we can understand each other and build a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.
So let’s embark on a journey of exploration of what unites us rather than divides.
Get involved now!
