WARRINGTON’S Greenwood Community Centre garden is in full bloom after support from a group of local organisations.
Volunteering their time, team members from Linden Homes, Torus, Warrington and Vale College, and Warrington Council’s Communities and Wellbeing services have planned multiple community improvement projects near Linden Homes’ Radley Woods at Peel Hall development.
The first space to receive support has been Greenwood Community Centre, with Linden Homes funding gardening services worth over £3,000 in 2024. Since then, volunteers from the three organisations have maintained the garden by painting the fencing, cutting back plants, installing an outdoor tap, and building raised flower beds.
UKSPF and Cadent funding will facilitate additional work on the community garden by Groundwork Landscapes over the next few months.
Linden Homes, part of Vistry, also donated materials for a new wooden fence at the community centre, which was subsequently built by construction students from Warrington and Vale College.
Linden Homes and Torus see this centre as an important asset to the community, where the partners can provide updates on new local housing and employment opportunities. The centre is already used by Torus Foundation to provide services to the local community.
The work is part of a commitment to support the community surrounding Peel Hall Garden Village.
Linden Homes’ Radley Woods development is set to launch later this year, featuring a collection of stylish three, four and five-bedroom homes.
Zac Worthington, managing director at Vistry Merseyside and Cheshire West, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to support the local community in Warrington
“ Radley Woods at Peel Hall Garden Village is an exciting development for us, and we want to ensure our neighbours feel supported. I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Linden Homes and Torus team, as well as all volunteers from our partners who got stuck in and found their green fingers to help this great community organisation.”
Cllr Jean Flaherty, deputy leader, Communities, Culture and Leisure at Warrington Borough Council, said: “The transformation of Greenwood Community Centre is a shining example of partnership working at its best. We’re proud to be part of a team dedicated to creating vibrant, inclusive spaces that bring lasting benefits to the community. The enthusiasm from all user groups, especially around the new community garden, reflects the spirit of collaboration and belonging that makes this project so special.”
