Since April 2024 we have been working with residents to transform an unused piece of fenced-in wasteland in our Allens Croft housing estate. It’s a great space for the community to grow in more ways than one!
This community garden project will always be developing. We wanted to create an historical record of our progress.
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and Severn Trent Community Fund we ran a community development activity programme throughout 2025. Come Spring we will have more activities. We have wrapped the garden up for the winter.
Our Scene CIC is leading a consortia of over 25 local groups, schools, faith and community organisations and businesses to establish a Cultural Action Area in Brandwood. Over 12 months the consortia came together to create a shared vision which develops, supports, invests in and sustains Brandwood as a place, with culture being a key driver.
The vision will be a tool to unlock future investment in art and cultural activity and in the area in the future.
Following on from establishing a Cultural Action Area in 2025 we were awarded a grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to deliver some neighbourhood improvements as well as run a Brandwood in Bloom style project to brighten up the area and bring our consortia members together in shared activity.
We are delivering elements of the Cultural Action Area’s Legacy Plan and boosting Brandwood further, so Brandwood can bloom even more!
Free creative sessions aimed at the over 50s where we make things for wider community benefit and to make a difference within our neighbourhoods. And, of course, we have a good yarn as we make!
Our current Collaborative Craft Campaign December – March is called Fruity Footsteps and open to creative interpretation. We are working towards the creation of two waling trails in Brandwood and Billesley from Easter 2026.
