Latest ideas

Hidden Britain Central Warwickshire

Encouraging visitors to your village can bring real benefits. It can make all the difference to small local businesses, give your community fundraising a boost, help you to organise new village events or improve facilities like footpaths; even create local employment. Most importantly it can bring people together.

Your Local Hedgerows and Woods

Warwickshire Wildlife Trust would like to get people in and around the Princethorpe/ Bubbenhall area involved in learning more about the environment about them, especially the woods and the hedgerows between them, linking to the local farming economy and the history of the woodlands.

Hands On Hands Off

 Sez- U Community Theatre would like to create a new play working closely with two or three villages. We would like to document, interview and archive a cross section of local people and then use their views and stories to weave into a new play that can tour, fetes,galas and village halls. Have a look at our camouflage web site to see how we created a new play and documented this hidden history as an example of our work. artofdeception.org If any villages are interested in this type of project please get in touch and support this project idea.

Community Orchards

We are a group including Action 21 from Leamington and the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust who are looking to set up a number of community orchards in Central Warwickshire. Community orchards are a great way to provide community space in a parish and can be used for all sorts of things apart from just fruit production. Picnics and BBQs spring to mind! We are looking to help village groups set up orchards.

Equipment for Community Venues

Live & Local has already been approached by some community venue committees in Warwick and Rugby Districts with regard to helping with a bid for performance related equipment for their hall.

There may well be benefits to a combined bid from several organisations across the District, especially where the individual bids are for less than £5,000. In particular it may also enable an equipment pool for the sharing of some items.
