Launched to mark the continued development of our Woodford Garden Village, the £10,000 fund is helping groups who work with young people such as The Millenium Youth Bar, Cheadle Hulme Cricket Club and Queensgate Football Club. It will also help a number of community groups such as Woodford Community Council, who will use their donation to fund a Winter Festival, and Woodford Recreation Ground Community Orchard, who will purchase tree guards for their newly planted fruit trees.
The full list of beneficiaries are:
• Poynton High School Concert Band
• Woodford Community Council
• Woodford Recreation Ground Community Orchard
• Woodford Garden Village Residents
• Christ Church Parish Church
• The Millenium Youth Bar
• The Mindful Smile Company
• Woodford Community Centre
• Queensgate Football Club
• Cheadle Hulme Cricket Club
Elanor Kortland from The Mindful Smile Company said: “The Redrow donation means that I can bring the wide-ranging benefits of mindfulness, which include improving focus, relaxation and wellbeing as well as reducing anxiety and depression, to many more people in our community. I am incredibly grateful and hope it persuades more people to give mindfulness a go.”
Sales director at Redrow NW, Anna Evans-Kerr said: “The groups being helped by our most recent community fund all contribute hugely to the area around Woodford Garden Village and work with people of all ages too. It’s great to know that we are helping groups who mean so much to the community.”
Occupying the former Woodford Aerodrome site, Woodford Garden Village is situated in Cheshire, just on the southerly border of Greater Manchester, and offers a ready-made community with a host of amenities on the doorstep, including its own pub and a primary school, plus a wealth of green spaces and play areas, parks and meadow areas.
