Warwick Ahead Newsletter #12 - July 2015

Bringing £1m to Warwick Estate over at least 10 years to make a massive and lasting positive difference to the community. Run Riot Group at the Festival for Food, Drink and Rhubarb

Think Big Local! Warwick Estate is one of 150 areas of the Country that have been chosen to get Big Local funding. Warwick Ahead is the name of the local project which was set up 3 years ago. Big Local will give Warwick Estate around £1M over a 10 year period to make a difference in the area. The challenge of Warwick Ahead is to get residents working together on a shared vision for the community. A lot of work has been done to get a Community Board formed, a local Vision developed and our first 3 Year Plan in operation. There are a range of projects that have already been funded through Warwick Ahead these range from luncheon club for the elderly through to a community bus project, film projects for children through to the setting up of an estate wide credit union project. There are groups and projects to oversee initiatives with older people, families, neighbourhood watch, the environment or activities that will bring people together. ANY RESIDENT is welcome to get involved with Warwick Ahead.

If meetings aren’t your thing, then start following Warwick Ahead on Facebook where you can feedback your thoughts or opinions. Over the next few months we will be putting together the Year 4-6 Community Plan and need residents to help form the Plan. Being involved will help you meet new people, it opens up the chance of training, gaining skills and making a worthwhile difference where you live.

Bungalow Bash – Cherry Tree Bungalows The day dawned with the promise of a lovely day and it wasn’t long before the sun shone through. Many hands make light work and everyone had found a job to do, my gang of helpers, Doreen, Pauline, Sylvia, Alan and myself all worked hard to complete the preparations before our guests turned up. 2pm saw the residents filtering down from the bungalows and Hazel Garth. The Deputy Mayor and Mayoress, Councillor Mr and Mrs Ellis arrived in style, much to the residents surprise;

our other council representatives arrived and the party got underway. Thanks to Natalie for helping to set up and Helen for driving the bus. Knottingley Angels and the Maypole dancers made it extra special providing the entertainment. Local businesses donate raffle prizes and we were able to tickets to the elderly residents out free. About 78 people attended and enjoyed a great buffet, making it the most successful bash yet and we are now looking forward to next years.
