Our Connecting for Good community organising team hosts a free event with People's Economy on 20 June exploring how power and the economy shape communities—and how people-led alternatives can build a fairer future. Join organisers, activists, community leaders from 10am to 4pm. Free ticket link 👇
Please either visit www.marycreagh.co.uk/willenhallsu... to complete an initial survey. Or come to one of our upcoming community drop-ins to talk in person to our community organiser Siân, who would love to meet you and hear your thoughts. Dates and times are as follows...
Teenvine Next Steps is designed for teens with SEND not attending school regularly, if at all. Project worker Poppy helps each one express themselves, self-advocate and plan for their future. Travel training helps reduce anxiety and build confidence in community around them—every small step counts ✨
Growing confidence, resilience, skills, friendships and ambitions helps young people with SEND take charge of their lives, build stronger futures and embrace new opportunities. Here's some of our Teenviners during a recent session on personal care, washing Barbie's hair in a sensory friendly way! 🪮🫧
There is also the opportunity to join the Neighbourhood Board which is forming to oversee spending this investment — £20 million to spend in Willenhall on what matters most to local people to improve their neighbourhood. Live in Willenhall and want to be a part of the change?
Willenhall in Coventry is one of the first 75 areas selected to receive part of the government's £1.5 billion Pride in Place investment over the next decade. As community organisers working in Willenhall over many years, we want to help ensure local people have their say on how this money is spent..
Meet two new members of our team—senior operations officer Lucy Gilbert and campaigns coordinator Grace Lewis! Lucy leads on all operational activities while Grace works with Coventry Youth Activists to develop and disseminate their campaigns far and wide www.grapevinecovandwarks.org/grapevine-ne...
