Upchurch Parish Council: Notice to Residents - Upgrades to the Play Area at The Paddock

Exciting Improvements Coming to The Paddock Play Area!

We are thrilled to announce that work to improve The Paddock play area will begin the week commencing Monday, 9th December 2024.

These improvements will include installing new play equipment and enhancements to make the area even more enjoyable for everyone.

During this time, please note:

• Contractors will be on-site, working under strict health and safety guidelines.

• All equipment and materials will be securely stored within a fenced-off area to ensure safety.
• We kindly ask all residents to remain cautious around the site and keep children and pets

   away from the work area.

We appreciate your understanding and patience while these improvements are carried out.

On behalf of Upchurch Parish Council, Thank you for your cooperation. Stay tuned for updates.

We look forward to unveiling the upgraded play area soon!

Village Hall Picks Up £1000’s at the Co-op Community Celebration 2024 | Choose a New Local Cause to Support

Co-op Community Celebration 2024

Co-op colleague Sally Butcher presented Village Hall Treasurer Sandy Tutt with £3,108.04 of funding from the last round of the Co-op Local Community Fund at yesterday's Community Celebration 2024.

Congratulations 😃

Upchurch Village Hall was Upchurch's Co-op local cause for the last 12 months.

Since 2020, Co-op members have helped to raise over £58 million for 20,500 Local Community causes across the UK.

As a Co-op member and owner, you can choose a cause close to your heart, and they will receive a share of the Local Community Fund.

Members can choose a cause at any time until October. After that, the Co-op shares the funds between all their local causes.

The total amount each cause receives depends on how many members have chosen them.

Co-op members can choose to support the Upchurch store's latest local cause, 1st Upchurch Guides at: https://membership.coop.co.uk

Upchurch's Co-op is paired for funding with their Parkwood Green, Rainham store.
