Community Transport – helping local people attend social events, get to medical appointments, go shopping and visit the church.
-
Schools IT – an engagement project with local schools focusing on our local historical and environmental heritage using information and communications technology.

Social Prescribing – through the well being programme, making connections to give people a sense of belonging that comes from being part of a community group and a new sense of purpose through enjoying activities they might not have tried before.

Walk & Talk – a walking club with extended social activities.
-
Yarn Club – teaching young people to knit with yarn and wool.
