Our Parish WhatsApp Group

After a suggestion from a longstanding resident, this group has been created to bring our wonderful villages closer together, helping us stay connected, share ideas, and support one another. Or just listen to others chat!

​
By joining, you’ll have a direct line to stay up-to-date with local events, share tips and advice, find support during emergencies, and help us all work together to make our villages even better places to live.​​​​​​​

GROWS is entirely resident-led and run by volunteers. It’s not affiliated with any organisation or funded by any group — just local people giving their time, skills, and resources to support our villages. Please respect each other's efforts, be kind, and join in if you want to.

The Fete is run by a small group of volunteers who are always keen to expand - contact us if you want to be part of the Fete Team!
