The annual Jumble Trail took place on 1/10/2023. Each resident who wanted to be on the jumble stall map compiled by CannHallCan paid a £5 fee, and the total was donated to the Farm Community Kitchen (a local free hot meal supplier and foodbank).
Members of CannHallCan planted bulbs in Cann Hall park in November 2023.
International Women’s Day was celebrated in the ward on 8/3/2024; the hall of a local church was hired, and activities included: box-making and decorating; a digital workshop, and a well-being afternoon featuring henna, nail-painting, and massage.
Old Skatepark space Re-Imagined
Plans for the improvements to the space which used to accommodate the old skatepark were finalised in March with the Council’s contractor. Work was planned to begin in April. A coloured floor, planting against the boundary with the neighbouring school, some seating, and poles from which to suspend camo netting (for shade) are the main elements.
Community engagement & Supporting other local activity
-
Communications: We continue to actively engage with our community We have issued 4 newsletters, published and distributed through social media and direct mailing lists, and publicised local events and initiatives organised by local groups and individuals.
-
Defibrillator: CannHallCan collaborated with the neighbouring pub (Rookwood Village) through 2021-22 to raise funds to buy a defibrillator for community use. The annual maintenance cost and insurance continues to be met by CannHallCan.
Café and pavilion
El Cafecito had been running the café business in the pavilion from 21[st] September 2022, but decided to move on, and sold the business to Café BelleJuin. BelleJuin café took over in October 2023. Bellejuin has refreshed some aspects of the café, extended the food offer, and added flower and plant sales to its scope. The café continues to serve as a valued local focal point, workspace, and meeting place.
Bellejuin Café organised seasonal events at Hallowe’en, Christmas, Valentines Day and Mothers’ Day.
An office space is used by a local resident.

Negotiations between CannHallCan and the Council regarding the lease renewal are ongoing. We have been assured that when the lease is renewed, the rent level will include an assessment of “community benefit”.
