Another unforgettable summer programme complete! ☀️💛

Over the past few weeks we've...
🌲 Conquered the high ropes with Butchers Coppice Activity Centre
🐝 Got up close with the bees thanks to The Kind Bee Company
🎀 Learned to dance around the maypole with Anonymous Morris
🎨 Unleashed our inner artists with a Bob Ross paint-along

From trying something completely new to making new friends, this is what What Next is all about.

Think you'd enjoy giving something different a go? Check out what we've got coming up www.whatnext.co.uk/book-now

We can't wait to see you there. 💛

Well done and THANK YOU, Kelly & Kaan

🏘️ I asked local community leaders in West Howe how £20 million of Pride in Place funding could support them.

What would make the biggest difference to West Howe for you? Let me know below 👇

We're also looking for residents who live or work in West Howe to join the Neighbourhood Board or become Independent Chair and help decide how the £20 million is spent.

🔗 So if you’ve got ideas, we want to hear them! Apply here before July 10th: www.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/prideinplace

Did you know there’s a 7½ acre adventure site in West Howe? Butchers Coppice is well worth a visit 🌿

Following our community meeting last month around the Pride in Place funding, we had some brilliant conversations about opportunities for young people in the area.
