It's St Patrick's Day, so what better day to hear from a dance caller

The Winton House Centre on the High Street is home to Age Concern Petersfield, Homestart Butser, hospital transport (PVCG) and 10 other charities, as well as a venue for many community activities. 

It’s been a community resource for 100 years and needs funds for the long term upkeep of the Grade II Listed building.

Manager Sarah Moss says, perhaps surprisingly, there are easy ways to do this.

She talk to Mike Waddington (who also volunteers there) about how Businesses like Annie Jones and Waitrose support causes (Winton House is currently one of the three organisations in their token vote).

The organisation EasyFundRaising allows you to nominate a charity for retailers to donate to your choice.

Inevitably, there's a Quiz Night on 3 November and on 11 November between 7pm and 9pm there's a chance to meet local charities over a bowl of soup and you vote at the end where the money goes locally.
