Although the initial intention was to provide financial support to projects related to this heritage, a further aim was added of fostering community spirit in the growing parish. WHO tries to fulfil its composite aims by organising regular events - usually on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. Anyone is welcome to attend these events, and for only l one can receive a regular newsletter about the activities of the organisation. The main occasion of the year combines all of the aims - that is the Annual May Festival which maintains the tradition of crowning the May Queen, supported by stalls and other events. An ongoing fund-raising scheme is the 100 Club.
Shares are l each and a draw is held monthly.
New members are always welcome. Main projects have included the church tower, church bell restoration, the Memorial Hall and the Pocket Park project. Each of these projects has received in excess of 400. Almost all of the village organisations have benefited in smaller ways according to their needs. The Pocket Park has not yet been established as it is dependent upon building development to the east of the village which has been delayed due to the current recession.
