Title: Serena Hall, Burlington Avenue, Chalvey, Slough. About 1970 [Go to resource]
Description: As well as being used by the St. John's Ambulance, Serena Hall was also used as the home of Slough's Driving Test Centre when the upstairs hall was hired out for private functions. In 1997 the building was taken over by SHOC [Slough Homeless Our Concern]. SHOC used the building as a day centre offering advice, hot food and company to homeless people. Approximately 100 homeless people are helped each year. In 2007 the top floor of the building was converted into 2 classrooms to provide training and education sessions to help people back into work. For five years before SHOC took over the building they ran an annual Christmas shelter.
