WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE LIVING IN KIRKNEWTON?
The recent Community Participation Exercise was the biggest Kirknewton Community Development Trust had done.. Over 3000 comments were received and thank you to everyone who took the time to participate to get your voice heard. The majority of people felt that the village was so friendly with a “Community Spirit and Sense of Community’.
The published results and report will inform the production of Community Development Plan (which you also get to see and give a view if you wish). This piece of work will provide the cornerstone of the work of the Kirknewton Community Development Trust over the next five years, how KCDT can improve what we do, where we will focus our resources and provide evidence of the communities needs for funding applications.
Funding applications are also strengthened by your membership of the Kirknewton Community Development Trust (for example our recent applications to support our community during Covid- 19 with projects such as the Community Fridge/Larder) . Anyone who lives in Kirknewton can be a member. It costs nothing to join but you will be sent regular news to your email, invitations to events and the Annual General Meeting and get to participate fully in creation of the Community Development Plan if you wish. If you are new to the community or lived here all your life please do join – you really do get out of the organisation what you put in..
We always need new positive voices, new volunteers or people who have skills to offer projects. Please do fill out the 2020 Skills and Volunteers Survey if you feel you can offer even a small amount of time to current and future projects. This may not always be for KCDT – we will direct you to other groups such as the Gala, Village Hall Committee, Allotments, Litter Pickers, Baby and Toddlers, School groups or others working on specific projects who all need your help.
