Chairman’s Report

In this, my second annual report as Chairman of the Community Centre management Committee, I would firstly like to thank all the volunteers, staff, Committee members and the Knighton Community for your support in what has been a rewarding, but very challenging year. Thank you our volunteers, staff, hirers, community groups and funders, we could not achieved so much without your help.

I’d also like to thank PAVO and Powys County Councillors Angelique Williams and Corinna KenyonWade for their support, Mayors Mark Coxill and now David Williams and Town Clerks Neil King and now Lisa James, and Knighton Town Council, Principal Librarian at Powys County Council Kay Thomas, our District Librarian Hannah Isaacson, based in the Comm, Joanna Harris, Commissioning Manager for Children, Nikki Jones Family Information Service and now East Radnor Coordinator, Karen Like Community Nursery Nurse (Health Visiting Service) Clair Swales, Chief Executive, Michele Muireasgha Assistant Director, Nick Venti and Louise Hardwick from PAVO, and Hayley Lloyd, our Community Connector, also based at the Community Centre.

We are also most grateful for the support of Radnor Hills Water, Knighton and East Radnor Food Bank, Wales in Bloom, TVEG, the Offa’s Dyke Centre, the Tower House Gallery, the Men’s Shed, Knighton and District Rotary Club, Knighton Museum, KINDA, Churches Together, Reverend Petra Goodband, Wylcwm Street Surgery, the Little Black Sheep Café, The Flower Box, the Co-op, A J Pugh Butchers, Lou’s Baked Treats, and Knighton and District Community Support for working together to provide services for the people of Knighton.

I must also extend my deep thanks to our external funders and donors: the Welsh Government, PAVO, Powys County Council, Knighton Town Council, Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA), the Shared Prosperity Fund / UK Renewal Fund (Levelling Up UK wide funds) the National Lottery Awards for Wales, Literature Wales, the Royal Horticultural Society, the Social Care Value Forum, Comic Relief, the Tower House Gallery, and several individual donors.

Highlights of the past 12 months include:

2

We also very pleased for our former volunteers and staff who have moved on to other jobs and achievements:

Louise Hardwick, now a Senor Development Officer for PAVO; Sophie Watts, who is now an Early Years Advisor with Powys County Council; Cats Lewis (Cadwallader), who is working at Wylcwm Street Surgery; Rob Clough has just embarked on the second year of a postgraduate medical degree at Swansea University; Vicky Allen who works for the Welsh Government in a senior role; Phil Wyard who moved to Hereford and Ludlow College, Jess Galliers and Faye Davies who now run the Family Centre and Jenny Bevan who have moved from volunteering to working at the Community Centre. In a community where opportunities for career development are few, we are proud that we have been able to support people to move to other jobs as a benefit not only to them but to the whole community.

We are both pleased and fortunate that Sophie can continue her invaluable contribution to the Comm.

No summary of the past year would be complete without acknowledging my continuing thanks to Ceri, our administrator, who has worked so hard to keep our services running in a building that is hard to manage and has also taken a key role in the market and to our stalwart caretaker Christian and our cleaners Diane, Helen, and Kelly-Anne.

My thanks are due to Ruth Forrester, who has continued to work with funders and secure contracts which have enabled the Community Centre to continue.

The rise in utility costs, staff wages and the fall in income from hirings and events has meant an increasingly reliance on grant income. We have also had large bills for compliance for equipment such as wall mounted stage lighting and as a result we have had to carefully consider the business case for each item of equipment. We do not receive any core funding at all for our Community Centre and the costs of utilities and core staffing are about £270 a day. As a result, we have had to increase out charges reluctantly. Our income stream from grants and contracts is unpredictable and now makes up a major part of our total income. Our volunteers are determined to improve our income from events and a number of initiatives are planned.

Treasurers Report

Attached to this report are the Community Centre accounts for April 2022 to March 2023, regarding income and expenditure during the financial year.

I wish to thank all our volunteers and committee members for their continued support in my management of the Community Centre’s finances.

Last year our hire of the Comm improved slightly on the previous year from 123 to 214 giving an average from 10.25 to 17.84 per month. However, we still need to improve these figures going forward to improve our income.

Our finances unfortunately were hit when it was found that our energy meters were faulty and had to be replaced. It should be clearly noted and understood that at no time were the finances of the Comm in any danger and all our utility accounts are paid by direct debit. I also introduced a safeguarding the financial limit of £20,000 for our current account and alerting both the Chair and Secretary of the financial situation if this is reached.

.

There has been little movement in donations and hire charges, however our bar, cafe and other. events by the Comm and volunteers has seen an increase in income. The management team and indeed, our volunteers acknowledge the significant contributions that Ruth Forrester has undertaken in obtaining grants for the Comm in the past financial year.

Salary costs have increased, because of ongoing and new grant aided projects the Comm are involved with various organizations in working with community projects. .

No committee member receives any remuneration or expenses in carrying out their duties and no trustee receives any remuneration from the Comm, all giving their time freely for the good of the community we care about and live in.

Pages 13,14 of the financial report before you is the draft version and the accounts have been signed off by the Chairman and return to DRE, our accountants to forward to the charity commission. Once this procedure has been completed a copy of the full report will be placed on our website.

Bob Andrews - Treasurer

Safeguarding

We were very fortunate when Kevin Dare retired from our Committee in October 23 that Sabina Sakowicz-Lee joined the Committee as our Safeguarding Officer. Sabina undertook a Safeguarding Lead course with the WCVA and has reported monthly to our Management Committee and advises our staff on concerns and potential referrals. Sabina has started updating the Procedure and has offered a training session for staff. Until recently, staff and volunteers recently undertook PAVO Safeguarding training, but this is no longer available and we are looking at alternatives.

Ruth Forrester

Centre Usage and Hirings

Last year we were looking for groups such as zumba, children's dance and yoga to return to the centre. I am happy to report we now have Zumba with Tania; Emily George has her monthly acrobat class, and we are in the process of arranging Yoga sessions for daytime. At the time of writing Serenity Yoga has been delivering small 1-1 sessions on Tuesdays / Thursdays. We still have Karate, Pilates, and Nina’s Strength, balance and flex groups - thank you to these hirers and we look forward to seeing you continue.

There are 4 services that hire the centre. These are Bracken Trust, RNID, the Leg club and Mind. We have also be able to hire the small office to PAVO / MIND and I am also happy to say that Welsh lessons have returned and Sarah has had over 15 students on the beginners course on Mondays and Tuesdays afternoon sessions sees 10 students.

We are also pleased to say Learn to Jive will be starting April 2024

Our events have picked up also with dances, Bingo and children’s activities planned for this quarter.

Hours of usage are contained in Appendix 1.

Market

The market has been privately run for the last year and as every year, has its bad and good months. It tends to build from Feb - June then drops until October - the autumn / winter months are better for the market.

From January 2024 we are hoping the market will come back under community centre ownership and continue to help the local businesses in the area reach customers.

Ceri Brown

Library

We have had another busy and successful year supported by volunteers Hilary, Vicky, Jilly, Christine, Tina, Laura and Kevin. Also, the Community Centre. KLF continued to support the Library donating an outside notice board.

We have held many regular and special events for children: From October – March along with the Family Centre we had Forest School sessions in and behind the library, which were very well attended and appreciated.

The Library Garden Competition Growing Edibles working with Tom the Garden coordinator and Supported by The Rotary Club, Rhos Organics and The Coop. 19 Children took part. Supported by Tom, they grew a range of edibles which they took home and showed at the Carnival. The Prizes were kindly donated and presented by the Rotary Club.

Karen from Pathfinders provided Thumbs up sessions in the Library for children with ALN followed by Stories and Songs. This has now developed into a buggy walk followed by Stories and Songs on Tuesdays

The monthly Lego club supported by Tina continues to be enjoyed by children. Nicky from Pathfinders will now be adding craft activities.

The School and nursery have come down for Library visits throughout the year and we were delighted to host the National Children’s Poet Laureate, Joseph Coelho in September. The School attended with 23 Children to meet him and listen to stories and poems.

During the Summer junior Library customers could play board games on Thursdays, which we will be carrying on as an after-school activity. Also 63 Children took part in the yearly Summer Reading Challenge. We have also been able to lend out balance bikes and outdoor games.

The Library is very pleased to be hosting monthly Banking. The HSBC is in the Library on the first Thursday of every month. This has been very much welcomed by customers who otherwise must travel to access their banking.

The Digi hub said a fond farewell and big thank you to Steff, and to Simon who stood in during recruitment and welcomed Stuart as the new Digi hub Coordinator.

In May we held a successful open morning with 40+ people looking round the hub, attending Tech support sessions and Canva training. Stuart now holds drop-in support sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These sessions are important as they help break down the technical and IT barriers which

6

lead to digital exclusion and isolation. The hub is also being used as a convenient and comfortable place to work.

The Library continues to lend out Ipads. This has proved very popular.

From October English classes were held in the Library for Ukrainian new arrivals.

The Library continues to offer customers all sorts of services; from Books, Bus pass and Blue Badge applications to litter picking kits. We deal with many and varied enquiries from the public and provide a warm, friendly and welcoming space for all.

Hannah Isaacson

Powys Library Service

Powys Library Service wishes to thank the Management Committee, staff and volunteers for their unstinting support and willingness to work together to make the library and digital hub such a success over the past year – it is an absolute pleasure to work with you. Your dedication to the community is outstanding, and I frequently refer to other services and organizations to visit, to see what can be achieved through partnership working. Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Kay Thomas

Digi Hub

The Digi Hub is funded by the Shared Prosperity Fund / Levelling Up until December 24. The lead agency is Powys County Council Library Service, and the Community Centre acts as a sub-contractor to promote and develop the service working with local and County library staff.

The digital Hub is a resource that Knighton has benefitted from; and all rural towns and villages would benefit from it if a similar service could be established. The services we offer help and assist the community to get along with their digital devices in this ever-increasing digital era. The need to embrace technology, our advertising push in Knighton, Knucklas and other villages close by, advertising our services on Facebook, the recent success of the HSBC bank and word of mouth have accounted for the recent success of the Digital Hub and its likely future success. We have been offering both drop-in sessions and appointment-only sessions, which have steadily grown in popularity over the summer months. We are averaging (Tuesday and Thursday) 7 one to one sessions, and 11 other enquiries or drop-in sessions each week since 25[th] July. We are looking to offer an outreach service to Knucklas on a Wednesday if it is possible. We also offer extensive ‘work from home’ facilities, our pod for private tele and video conferencing and printing and scanning, all of which are reasonably popular but are not used on a frequent basis. It is our intention to encourage a greater uptake of all services we offer over the coming months as we head into winter. We are currently organizing a winter preparedness event with the intention of drawing attention to all that we have to offer.

Flics

The first year of taking on the running of Knighton Flix has been rewarding and also challenging.

7

My fantastic team of volunteers Tom Michael Dave Bob Martin

have enabled the continuation of films to be shown at the comm and I think we’ve all learned new skills. Others assisting are:

Our new volunteer Derek has helped with setup and bar.

Fiona taking the money and recording numbers.

Penny and new volunteer Becky on the cafe not forgetting many years of service by carol for Flix Hannah our new volunteer from the Ukraine now living in Knighton is also helping out Lynne Conway is no longer helping with poster distribution, thank you very much for her help last year

Film choices

We have also shown films in collaboration with local groups. The twinning association and Tveg as well as with the youth project

We also showed a film as part of the Knighton festival which was very well attended as was our annual inclusion in the borderlines film festival.

We have for the first time produced our own brochure thanks to Stuart Roper and distributed locally Our viewing figures have been up and down and this is always challenging as we always want to show a cross section of films for our audience.

The move to the main hall has allowed for some much larger audiences, especially Borderlines and Knighton Festival and hopefully our audiences will grow takings from the bar and cafe are always linked to audience size but obviously help with the overall profitability of Knighton Flix

Again, I would like to thank all, past and present who continue to support our endeavours in bringing films to our community.

Tom Clough

Advice from the Hub

Another year has gone past so quickly and here we are again, the 2023 AGM. The Advice from the Hub service has been used by many different clients, looking for help with a wide variety of problems or concerns. Hopefully we have been able to help them or point them in the right direction.

From accessing help with benefits, council tax, housing issues, hospital transport, replacement travel passes, TV licence changes, help with sorting out child benefit for a young person relocating to live with a different parent, to advising on how to access Citizens Advice Bureau, accessing help with mental health issues, help with digital technology and the pitfalls that can bring, we have had many and varied questions this year.

As ever, there are changes, but we still have access to CAB through their referral system and they are still prepared to zoom link with individuals as necessary.

Our main aim has always been to make sure that everyone feels that they can access help and advice in a warm, friendly setting, on a regular basis. The Tuesday Café and Thursday Soup Drop in and delivery is of help to the Community to know that there is someone prepared to listen to them and help where we can.

We are currently reapplying to the Welsh National Lottery Community Fund to help to continue to

8

provide the Thursday Soup sessions, although we did not get our first application accepted, the feedback was very hopeful for a second application.

We have conducted surveys with customers, to see what they would like to have available at the Tuesday and Thursday Cafes, to make them more user-friendly.

As always, we are helped and supported by other members of staff within the Community Centre, from Annie, Ceri, Wendy, Stuart, input from Family Centre and the Garden Crew, the volunteers, including drivers who help make the Café on Tuesday and the Thursday Soup from the Hub such an enjoyable and welcoming meeting place. We also have help and support from Hannah and the library staff and volunteers, and Hayley, our Community Connector. We also have input from outside agencies, through the Library we have a monthly session from HSBC, and a monthly visit from James Evans MS’s team for Welsh Government queries. Of course, we also have support from our two County Councilors.

We cannot forget our Committee members, Michael, Ruth, Bob etc., and hope that our newer committee members will appreciate the help and support that we attempt to provide to our local community.

Thank you again to all who help us with providing the Advice from the Hub service.

Volunteer Hub

This year the post of Volunteer Coordinator is different from previous years, as it is funded both by PAVO (Powys Association of Voluntary organizations) and the Community Centre.

Our outstanding achievement this year has been us acquiring Investors in Volunteers status, this is a huge accomplishment and a testament to the Community Centre’s thinking around the volunteer service.

In an attempt to reduce our use of paper and make things more immediately accessible we have developed the use of the Community Centre’s website volunteer section, all volunteer documentation is located on this site. The Volunteer Hub's Facebook Page is widely utilized, and the Tuesday volunteer Drop-in has positive attendance which has resulted in people being recruited as volunteers.

The Increase in volunteer recruitment has been reassuringly steady since May of this year, and it is encouraging to note an increase in interest from younger people; however there is still much to do to encourage young people into posts. We have 60 active volunteers with us at the Community Centre, and without them we would not be able to offer all of what we do, so a very special thanks to them all for all they have done for the centre during the last year.

Community Hub

Changes have been made to the service delivery of the Advice from the Hub, and it now ‘sits’ within the Tuesday and Thursday Drop-in sessions. Despite great efforts it has been challenging to encourage

9

external professionals back into the building on Tuesdays, however with three members of the Community Centre’s staff all offering Drop-in sessions we are noticing a steady improvement in footfall. We have recently launched a new service, The Women’s Hour, and thus far the attendance has been encouraging and is a way forward with increasing customer engagement. The Cafe is run by volunteers and is run in a professional and competent manner. Customers readily have interactions with them.

Thursday Drop-in Eatery/ Soup from the Hub Projects

The home delivery service currently delivers to 9 customers, all of whom for medical or social reasons are unable to attend the indoor service. We have two volunteers who share the deliveries, regular customer feedback continues to be positive for the services continuation. Over the years the service has become a mainstay service within our community, it is evident that its main purpose is to provide ‘human contact’ and along with that, comes us being able to offer a warm space when needed, an environment to feel safe, cared for, have access to our Advice workers and consume (free) delicious and nutritious homemade food.

Our recent application to the Community Fund was unsuccessful, we are in the throes of reapplying, however we are confident that despite any financial challenges we incur the Drop-in Eatery will remain available as it has become far too important to stop.

A continuing leading force which allows the Drop-in to be the success it is, is very much down to the remarkable team of volunteers we have delivering it, without whom we would really struggle to provide such a great & meaningful service. It is also apparent that the volunteers get so much from engaging with the customers, so much so it is a service that we have a waiting list of volunteers wanting to join! I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Carol, Charles, Christine, Derek, Janice, Jenny J, Karen, Mike P, Penny, Roger, Sheila T and Sue N for all their help, support, craziness and laughter. Also, a special thanks to Wendy for the delicious food she provides, Ceri, Christian & Jenny for their vital and appreciated contributions.

Women’s Hour:

A new group started at the Community Centre at the beginning of September, its purpose is to be a social network for women, and a forum in which they can make friends, socialize, share skills and combat loneliness and isolation. So far, we are delighted at the interest, and are keen for it to develop in the New Year.

Informal Volunteering

The Community Centre was part of a successful bid to develop informal volunteering in Powys by 8 volunteer centres as a Consortium. The funding will last from November 2023 until March 2025 and will provide an additional 20 hours a week staffing tine to recruit volunteers who are prepared to undertake one off tasks in the community for instance collecting prescriptions, delivering food or library books, gardening and assisting with community events and crises. We hope to reach younger volunteers or those who can only commit to one off tasks.

Youth Work Project

The Knighton Youth Project has continued to attract large numbers averaging around 30 attendees. We anticipate these numbers will grow further as the weather declines.

The pattern we see is younger 11–14-year-olds stay with us for the whole 2hr session and 14 -16year-olds dip in later for a warm drink/ snack.

Our evenings consist of some familiar equipment and snacks and introducing something new celebrating an event or life skill.

Our life skills series have inspired a lovely group of ‘chefs’ that have helped in the kitchen this term, preparing food they can try at home such as omelettes and pizza wraps.

Thank you to the community who have helped support us, we had a great bingo night and bouncy castle evening.

We continue to build our relationships with Knighton Fire Station, Knighton F.C & Golf Club, Knighton Refugee Support Group and Tom’s Edible Garden Project. We hope to support Knighton Sports Centre to access their Youth Gym initiative too.

This year we hope to expand our work with the 16–25-year age category with a weekly well-being evening. An opportunity to make friends with a short walk followed by a hot drink together. We hope this can help tackle loneliness and provide alternative ways to socialize without alcohol.

Thank you to our Management Committee and Comm team who work tirelessly behind the scenes to source funding and keep a safe warm roof full of wifi over our young people’s heads. You have always been on the end of the phone to help and we really do appreciate it.

Knighton Festival

The 2022 Festival took place at the Comm during the half-term holiday at the end of October. Having been online for the previous 2 years, it was great to have a program of live talks and events again.

During the week we had 14 invited speakers, five musical events, three guided rambles, two guided town walks and one cycle ride. Other events included a film show, an art exhibition, a creative writing class, a Death Café, an art and book fair and children’s craft activities. As part of the Festival, we also produced an updated Walk round Knighton leaflet which has been distributed around venues in the town and the Comm.

On the first weekend Mike Longmore stepped in at the last minute to host the Open Mic night. He did a great job, there was a good line-up of musicians, and it was an entertaining evening which brought a different audience to the Comm. It was very well attended with estimated bar takings of over £300. Thanks to Dave and Ceri who ran the bar.

The next day we had 18 stalls at the art and book fair, there was a self-publishing workshop, Chris and Jess organized Halloween activities for children and the café did well with sales of toasted sandwiches, while Kandinsky’s Daughter provided musical entertainment. In the afternoon we had

11

poetry readings by Rhiannon Hooson and Hilary Llewellyn-Williams; Martin Redfern spoke about the making of the new children’s encyclopedia Planet Earth; and Dr Emma Short, aka the Healthy Happy Gut Doctor, explained how to live well and prolong your life.

In the evening sponsors of the Festival and other invited guests attended a private view of the art exhibition and were impressed both by the paintings and the new gallery space. The Sunday featured an organized ramble led by Jacqui Salt from the East Radnor Ramblers, a town tour led by John Davis and the Festival concert in St Edward’s Hall organized by Margaret Davis from the Knighton Classical Concert Society.

During the week Hannah held an authors’ event for lots of children in the library, with craft activities provided by Ceri and Steph. There was a Breeze cycle ride for women led by Sahrah Wilding. Later in the week the Death Café session and Nandita’s talk on Palestine were both memorable and thought provoking. There was a good turnout of around 50 people for the film On the Black Hill on Friday night.

The final weekend started with a writing workshop run by novelist Sophie Duffy, followed by four talks: Julie Brominicks spoke about her year walking round Wales; Martin Rees, the brilliant Astronomer Royal, joined via Zoom to share his thoughts on whether there is life elsewhere in the Cosmos, amongst other things. Award-winning Welsh writer Caryl Lewis charmed everyone with tales of her writing career and growing pumpkins; while artist and curator Tim Craven delivered a fascinating, high-speed talk on the tree in British art.

On Sunday morning there was another ramble. In the afternoon after the town walk, local historian Alison Webb explained the history of the Marcher castles, followed by our final event, a concert by the Llanfair Singers.

Overall, the Festival was a great success, and the feedback has been very positive. Many thanks to Angelique and Annie, who were the lead organizers for the cafés on both Saturdays, and to all the staff, volunteers and management committee at the Comm for their support.

Thanks to our sponsors: Literature Wales, Knighton Town Council, Knighton Library Friends, KINDA, Knighton Rotary. The total costs of the speakers, the print and publicity materials came to £1312, which was covered by sponsorship of £1300, plus additional income of £205 from the market, writing group and concert.

Many thanks also to the other members of the Festival committee: Ruth Forrester, Evelyn Scott, and Nicola Colston, our treasurer Bob Andrews, and late addition Laura Mannison-Shore, with special thanks to Martin Redfern who provided the sound equipment for the Open Mic night and support for all the other talks.

2023 Festival

Following recommendations from the 2022 Festival, this year’s Festival will take place over a weekend in late October, avoiding the half term break. We have also introduced a booking system with a small charge for most of the talks. Although the Festival will take place over a weekend rather than a week, we have 14 invited speakers, 2 musical events, a book and art fair and an art exhibition in the gallery space. We are including the free outdoor activities again plus a concert at St Edward’s Hall organized by the Knighton and District Concert Society the following week.

Family Centre and Stay and Play

The Family Centre has now been successfully running a free session for over 2 years averaging around 45 parents / carers and their children each week, with 103 families now registered to use this much needed service.

Pathfinder are funding our sessions fully, which we are truly grateful for.

The sessions are run by Faye Davies, Jess Galliers and Carol Smyth.

We have several fantastic volunteers - Sue Galliers and Heather is in the kitchen helping Jess to cook our delicious healthy meals.

Amy Hopkins and Tanya Bennett are continuing to help us from last year with two new added volunteers Stacey Layton and James Bridges who has now joined us from the community cafe.

Parents can come and enjoy free tea, coffee, a hot meal plus added extras which include yoghurts, biscuits and fruit for free and during the winter months is also a warm space which is vital for families due to high heating costs.

Each week families attend various themed craft activities, and a variety of age-based toys to play with. We have made great use of our community garden all year round which has a sandpit, a mud kitchen which was donated to us thanks to Brendan Branford, also in the process is a barked area being regularly added by Nicky Tranter tree care.

Emily George was a regular each month last year, keeping the children active through dancing.

Tom, our garden coordinator, has a very hands-on approach with the children teaching them about wildlife, garden knowledge, activities and vegetable growing.

Karen Like Pathfinder Community Nurse attends our sessions each week, to give support and advice to families.

In the past 12 months that I have been running Stay and Play on a Wednesday morning 9-11, we have been averaging 10 families per week in the Reynolds Room, offering a snack, craft and sensory activities, singing etc.

The Family Centre ran a successful well attended session on a Friday morning. When funding ceased many parents and especially grandparents expressed how disappointed they were it was finishing and I had lots of comments about how much they enjoyed our sessions and would miss them. Several commented how they would be willing to pay.

With this in the mind I spoke with Ceri about the possibility of moving our sessions from the Wednesday to the Friday and extended by an hour to try and get more people through the door. Once this was agreed I then contacted our Family Centre volunteers to see if they would be available to help me if I offered a light lunch of sandwiches, crisps, fruit, yogurts etc.

Our second Friday session saw 40 people through the door, which was great to see and hopefully these numbers will continue.

Mo, Sue and Heather will be busy in the kitchen doing their thing, whilst myself, Carol and Stacey will be on hand in the main hall providing lots of fun seasonal activities over the coming months.

Community Garden

Garden Photography Project: So far, a small group have kept a weekly photographic journal of the garden. We aim to produce a Calendar next year. We are keen to encourage Knighton residents to participate in photographing the garden.

Family Centre: We have delivered workshops encouraging young children to engage with nature/ the outdoors/ planting-growing-and eating edibles.

Orbis Education: As an outreach project: the Garden Coordinator delivered workshops engaging learners with growing edibles. The Orbis team are keen to develop a regular day where learners can visit The Comm garden/ Knighton library and engage learners within our community. Knighton Primary School: The Garden Coordinator delivered an assembly about growing edibles, centered on the air miles of fruit and veg, in our local supermarket: with the question ‘what can we grow in Knighton?’ To follow this assembly, there was a seed planting workshop, with every classroom in the school.

Library gardening club: To engage under-18’s in growing edibles; The Garden Coordinator delivered monthly workshops. Over 30 children in all attended the workshops and planted seeds. Rhos Organics and The Coop donated resources for the garden club. Knighton Rotary Club covered the cost of the prizes. The library established a competition for young growers: we had a prize giving ceremony, and an exhibition of plants and photos at Knighton Town fair.

Growing Edibles for Everyone in Knighton: The RHS have granted funding to support The Comm to establish a network across Knighton, sharing knowledge and resources for growing-our-own food: to provide opportunities for people in our community to share and celebrate growing edible plants. Volunteers: We have a team of volunteers whom attend garden work-parties organized by Simon Gill. There is also a small group of volunteers developing who assist the Garden Coordinator. Wales in Bloom We were proud to receive an outstanding award at the 2023 ceremony in Denbigh. A special thankyou: to all volunteers who support The Comm Garden.
