Allotment Club

18th May 2007

 

ECHO have recently acquired an allotment plot and are currently working hard to turn it from a weedy bit of mud into something altogether more fruitful. A the beginning of the year there was only a baron strip of weeds but already we have raised beds, some equipment, a brand new shed, almost limitless enthusiasm and a dismantled green house that needs putting together again. Hopefully we'll get some plants planted in time for this years harvest, if not we'll have fun trying.

So if you fancy yourself to be green fingered or just want to have a go you're more than welcome to join us.

Contact the office on 243303 and ask for details.

 

StowHill Partnership Welsh Assembly Communities First Gwent Associtaion of Voluntary Organisations

ECHO

ECHO Stow Hill Community Group, was set up in May 2002 in response to the award of Communities First status by the Welsh Assembly Government. It aims to improve the quality of life in the city centre community of Stow Hill, Newport by developing relationships between the resident community, local businesses and other active groups and individuals in the area.

We will do this through the advancement of education and training, jobs and business, community safety, health and well being; through improvements to the environment and other facilities in the interests of improved conditions and quality of life for all.

A formally constituted association, Echo Stow Hill provides a focus for community activities and works to support local initiatives that will improve the quality of life and increased opportunities for all in the Stow Hill area. We are currently going through the process of gaining charitable status. If you are interested to know more then call in at the Echo office.

View a list of committee members and officers.

Apart from its representation on the Stow Hill Partnership Board the association also plays a liaison role with local statutory bodies, organisations in the voluntary and charitable sectors and with elected representatives of local and national government.  We have been instrumental in negotiating improvements to the Clifton Road Park ("the Gem"), and more recently the "Mouse Park" in Beaufort Terrace. We successfully campaigned for the setting up of a youth club and have arranged trips and other social events for local pensioners. A successful Echo in Bloom competition is organised annually, encouraging local residents and businesses to brighten up the environment with floral hanging baskets and window boxes and a christmas decorated windows competition has helped to brighten winter evenings.

We produce ECHO, a quarterly newsletter about activities in the local community which is delivered to every home in the area and to local businesses. You can read the latest issue of Echo here to find out what's going on in our community.
