Dear All,

We are pleased to announce that Greenmount Village Community has been selected for the current round of funding in the Tesco Fruit & Veg Grants programme.

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.

Thank you in anticipation, for your support.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

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

Dear All,

I’m really pleased to share that new interpretation panels and finger posts have now been installed at Peel Tower as part of the Peel Tower Conditions Project. It’s fantastic to see these in place, helping visitors discover more about the history of this iconic local landmark while making it easier for people to explore the surrounding area.

One of my favourite parts of the project has been seeing the involvement of the children from Emmanuelle Holcombe Primary School. Working alongside artist Amy Callaghan, they helped shape the new interpretation, and it’s wonderful to see their ideas and creativity reflected at such a special place.

A big thank you also goes to Bury Council for supporting the project throughout, and to The National Lottery Heritage Fund for their generous funding and continued support. Projects like this simply wouldn’t be possible without that investment. Thanks also to Proffitts-Investing in Communities who always manage to make things happen.

Peel Tower is such an important part of our local heritage, and these new interpretation panels are a great way of helping visitors discover its story. I hope you’ll have the chance to visit, look at the new interpretation, and maybe even discover something new about this special place.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,

Can you help? Do you know of anyone who may be interested in joining the Greenmount WI? Please see below a message from their secretary Pauline Rushton. There is a meeting tonight and every month. See poster attached too for further detail. Regards, Julie

I am trying to promote Greenmount WI which has been going for 52 years and we need new members. I fear that if we do not get more new members it will be in danger of closing in October which will be very sad.. Regards, Pauline Rushton Secretary Greenmount WI
