The decision to build an accessible toilet in Banbury Meeting House was not a straightforward one for Banbury and Evesham Area Meeting, and took years for Friends to find unity on.

Now, Friends are happy to announce their new toilet is open for business!

To celebrate, and in an offer of Friendship to people around the world, the area meeting have made a donation to Tear Fund Toilet Twinning Scheme to fund a toilet in South Sudan, a war torn part of the world where many people lack access to clean water and sanitation.
