This is an anonymous story collected from the public as part of THE WOKINGHAM ARC PROJECT.

I am a local resident from 1976. I have seen many changes with the growth of Wokingham from a small market town. Love the community feel, local groups e.g. choir, theatre groups, art society.

What makes me feel alive in my local area is: plants, flowers, trees, birdsong, insects, people chattering, children playing, marketplace, sky/clouds, breezes, sunshine.

Home, to me, means family, warmth, comfort, support, community, closeness, familiarity

For the future of Wokingham, I hope that community events continue, vibrant lively town centre, preservation of past history/conservation

I am an enthusiastic member of thriving local choral Society. Children grow up/went to school here.
