About Us
We are a resident-led, lottery funded, community development charity currently based on Walmesley Road. We focus on the area bounded by Atherleigh Way, Kirkhall lane, Leigh Road and Twist Lane.
We do that by listening to what local people, schools and community groups think is important and drafting a three-year Community Plan with priorities and spend.
Volunteer here!
Volunteering in the community is one of the most rewarding pastimes that can be enjoyed by absolutely anybody and everybody.
