Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial Makes Contribution Towards Al-lendale Community Centre Toilet Refurbishment
By The Allendale Community Centre
Following a public consultation in January 2026, plans to refurbish the Allendale Community Centre’s public toilets are now coming to fruition. Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial has contributed a £1,000 donation towards the project, which will help support the larger refurbishment costs.
The toilets are open to all members of the public, whether they use the Community Centre facilities or not. This latest contribution continues the strong and ongoing partnership between Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial and Allendale Community Centre.
Previous support from Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial has included:
- Regular food donations to the Food Supply
- Hands-on labour assistance for repainting the Community Centre and the Food Supply Cabin
- Hosting a highly successful Christmas wreath-making event which raised over £2,200 for local causes
- Easter eggs for local Wimborne children
The donation was formally presented to the community centre, by Elisa Way and Karen Hill of Poole & Wimborne Woodland Burial.
