Greenwoods is a community on the outskirts of the village of Stock in Essex. The main house is open to people of all ages from all parts of the country who need to find healing of body, mind' and spirit. Broken marriages, mentalbreakdowns, inability to deal with the stresses of modern life-these are the problems faced at Greenwoods
In the 116 acres of parkland and woods, camps for young people ' are organised throughout the year, with as many as six hundred under canvas at one time. A Boys' Home is being built in the grounds for youngsters who get into trouble. Instead of segregating them from the rest of society they are brought into the midst of a challenging environment.
Between c4,000 and L5,000 is needed annually from voluntary sources to carry on this many-sided work of rehabilitation.
