Who we are and our aims.

 

 

The Todmorden in Bloom working group have been meeting since January 2000. Our main aims are to: 

  

           

Clean up the town, and encourage a sense of pride  and community spirit

 

      

Establish key areas of planting with a growing emphasis on perennial and sustainable planting

 

     

Enthuse the whole community to burst into bloom

 

       

Encourage environmental awareness and responsibility in the community

 

       

Make the town an attractive and safe place for visitors and residents 

 

      

Work in partnership with other agencies (voluntary, business and council) involved in Todmorden

 

  

Involve and include people  of all ages from the many different communities in our town

      

Encourage community groups to  hold planting and clean up events

 

 

We are a small active group ranging in age from 67 yrs to 5 yrs old who share all of the tasks from watering to fundraising. We meet monthly in the winter and more often when projects are in progress. We raise funds in various ways from selling cakes and jams to gaining sponsorship from local companies and organisations.
