 The Community Information Stalls and activity event, took place as part of the Aspley Day of Action Wednesday 30 June, hosted by ASDA Strelley supermarket.
The sun shone, many residents attended and got freebies and the stallholders were all happy. Thank you for your great feedback!
Community Information stalls included health, employment information and local community groups offering free activities and advice, including Nottingham City Homes, Evolve, Groundworks, Small Step Big Changes, Cats Protection and the Police and the Fire & Rescue White Watch. A big thank you to all who made this event a successful one.

Plans are now prepared for the Amesbury Circus plans for the playground. We have had a setback and are having to resubmit the charity funding bid. We could have gone ahead without the additional bid, but it would have meant sacrificing the childrens play area. So we are now looking for a start on site early next year. Want to know more? Contact Joanne Tarrant [email protected] or call 07949 061020
During the pandemic, social isolation and loneliness, especially for people living alone and older people has dramatically increased. Are you or someone you care about experiencing loneliness?
A new scheme run by Groundwork Nottingham will connect local people to beat loneliness. Volunteer Befrienders will ring people on a weekly basis and offer a listening ear, signposting, information about groups, providing general advice and practical support, as well as meeting up in person when it's safe.
Want to be involved, either as a volunteer or to be assigned a befriender? Email [email protected] or ring 07985554999.
