Cleckheaton in Bloom
Cleckheaton in Bloom is a voluntary group that was set up in July 2021. It was established in order to help make Cleckheaton a more attractive place for residents, shoppers, visitors, retailers, businesses and to draw new retailers, businesses, families and shoppers to the town. The aims of the group are to enhance and improve the visual appeal of the town of Cleckheaton by encouraging the growth of plants, flowers, herbs and vegetables in different areas across the town throughout the year. In enhancing the town of Cleckheaton through planting containers and areas across the town we aim to encourage and promote civic pride and a community spirit in the town.
Church Woods, Birstall
Church Woods is classified as an ancient woodland. The Church Woods Committee of St Peter’s Church is responsible for caring for the woodland and preserving it for future generations. With support from the Woodland Trust we work to care for and restore the woodland. We also seek to engage the local community in that work as we believe that this improves wellbeing as well as protecting the woodland. A longer term aim of the committee is to use the woodland for educational purposes, offering it for schools and groups to use as well as running events of our own.

St Augustine's Church has loaned 1000sqm of ground on the north side of their church for the enjoyment of the local Community.

We need volunteers to look after the orchard, paths & herbaceous borders. In addition there are three plots for tenancy to grow vegetables.
