Dear All,

I am pleased to inform you that Greenmount Village Community can now buy three more composite benches, this time for the village green.

Due to private donations from residents, we can now replace the broken wooden benches which have deteriorated over time.  Eventually we would like to have a combination of the metal leg style (which have been refurbished by one of our shed groups) and composite.

The new benches should be installed by the end of the month. Together we can work on keeping this popular space safe and attractive to all residents and visitors.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,

Dear All,

You can vote for our project, which is to provide new playground equipment for the park in Greenmount, at the Tesco Store in Ramsbottom from now until 30th November 2026

Over the years the playground has become extremely popular and well used. Some equipment has been removed through wear and tear and needs replacing.

There are three projects competing for the award, the project with the highest number of votes, we will receive £1,500, the second placed project £1,000, and the third placed project £500.

Please support our cause by voting for our project.

To vote, you will need to make a purchase within the store of any value. You will receive one token per transaction and it’s not necessary to purchase a carrier bag in order to receive a token.

Dear All,

I am writing to inform you that Greenmount Village Community has now become a charity! This process has taken over two years, but we have been recognised for the work we do as a committee.

I am hoping that this will open a few more doors into the world of funding opportunities, which all helps to keep our community spaces manageable and in good order as well as supporting residents in other ways. None of this work would happen without the support of many volunteers who help with the variety of groups we run, for example –

Woodland Management

Rainbow Shed and Barn

D-CaFF

Cuppa and Chat

Greenmount Walking Group

Holly Mount Orchard

Community Garden

Village Green and Playground

We continue to use our very own logo, but note the charity number has been added-

Thank you for your continued support and if anyone wishes to join any of our groups as a volunteer, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth
