In Woodbrooke: the next phase of our vision, Simon Best introduced sixteen Friends to Mandy Cooper, Woodbrooke’s new CEO. She was impressed by Friends’ enthusiasm and drive, and was grateful for their upholding. Mandy wanted them to know that, having moved from its building, Woodbrooke’s ‘purpose hasn’t changed’. It was still ‘a place of learning, discussion, reflection, contemplation, discernment and growth’. What had changed was how it would be delivering those things.
