E – Priors Park Neighbourhood Project
Located in the heart of Priors Park, the Neighbourhood Project is a place that offers residents to visit for help on matters, as well as a central point for clubs and activities.
The Project hosts a drop-in coffee morning called the Optimist’s, a group for people over 50 to meet up for a coffee or tea and a chance to chat. They also organise activities for members to go on trips and outings around the local area. The Group meets up Monday mornings between 9:30am and 11:30am at the Priority One Shop, 105 Queens Road for people to drop in. If you’d like more info, you can email ppnp@freenet.co.uk or ring Carol on 01684 290069.
There’s also a gardening club that runs out of the Project, held in the ground’s very own Community Garden. They offer the chance for families and groups to adopt a plot of ground to prepare and grow their own fresh fruit and vegetables. If you’re not quite green-fingered yet, they hold workshops and advice on all gardening matters. For more information on the gardening club, please email ppnp@freenet.co.uk or ring 01684 290069.
