Woodland Camp. Christian camping centre
Lambourne Centre. This was Young’s Farm which was used in the 1930s by the Mansfield Centre in Forest Gate for boys camping at weekends. The farm became a centre for such activity and was sold to the Lady Trower Trust who remodelled it including more sporting activity. By the 1980s it was entirely used by the Mansfield Centre and they added overnight accommodation and eventually environmental activities. It has since had input from the YMCA.
