On 3rd weeks in the month we undertake various community projects, at present including helping out at Pets in Need (Mondays), St John's Garden/churchyard maintainance (most Wednesday mornings, if not wet). Also some litter picks. Contact for details.

Some of us are also helping at Tottington Centre with the voluntary library service to replace that relinquished by the local council in December 2017. Following Covid lockdown the library has re-opened, Mondays to Fridays from 10.00 am to 5 pm (plus Saturday mornings 10-12). The cafe is temporarily closed awaiting new management. Centre closed for Christmas; reopening Tuesday 4th January 2022.

With much help from Tottington Primary School Year 5, we are continuing our project to develop Whitehead Gardens, Tottington . Eventually, we hope to have a pleasanter park to visit and to make it part of a Tottington History Trail. Now we have secured pump funding, Proffitts are looking for extensive funding and have produced  plans. We welcome any ideas that you may have.
