The Seven Towers Community Association offers a drop in community facility which provides a range of programmes for residents including a women’s health programme, children’s hip hop classes, training and education programmes, community events, community away days, and a walking group. We have also recently acquired 33 community allotments which
will provide the opportunity for the community to grow their own produce, host cook it projects and learn horticultural skills, providing opportunities for children and young people to learn about the environment. We also facilitate a range of community clean-ups engaging the local residents. Furthermore we also actively attend a range of interagency meetings with our voluntary, community and statutory partners this gives us an opportunity to identify local need, network, develop new programmes and showcase the current work of the group. In order to promote the work of the group we provide regular updates via our quarterly newsletter and with direct contact with all of our beneficiaries.
