The Wheel - Autumn 2021 - Issue 4

Radstock & Westfield Big Local would like to say a big congratulations to Tyning Together, Writhlington Pantry and The Wombles for successful applications to our Small Fund grant pot!

The ‘Connecting Tyning’ project is an excellent way to bring people together and build upon the strong community spirit they have in their area. They will hold coffee mornings, update their new noticeboard and develop a local newsletter so that people can learn about and get involved in the great things that the community and their Tyning Together team are doing to make the area an even better place to live.

The food and supplies pantry in Writhlington was set up by the community for their community in order to meet a need that people are facing in these difficult times. We’re pleased to help them make repairs to the distribution point and to stock up the pantry so that they can continue their outstanding work.

People from all over the community have been doing their bit to clean the streets and green spaces. With support from our fund these amazing ‘wombles’ will soon be able to get together and celebrate what they’ve achieved, and even plan how they can bring their enthusiasm for a tidy and beautiful area into the schools, inspiring children to also make a positive difference.

You can read all about the hundred+ projects we’ve supported on our website: www.radstockwestfield.org.uk

We are a group of people from the community who have volunteered to take responsibility for the investment of £1m of lottery funds, for the benefit of the people who live and work here. We always need more people to join us, to contribute their opinions and knowledge of the area, and to keep the group going - please consider joining the Radstock & Westfield Big Local team.
