During #ASBAwarenessWeek last month, our Senior Communities Officer led a litter pick in Beeston with students from Beeston Fields Primary School and local Police Officers for Partnership Day. Together, they collected rubbish around the town centre and Broadgate Park to help their community and keep the local spaces #CleanAndGreen. Well done and thank you for taking the time to care for the area working together to make a difference. #AntisocialBehaviour

Our £8,000 UKSPF funding to RideWise, the Nottingham cycling charity, means they can continue offering free cycling sessions every Saturday in Eastwood until March 2025. This support was made possible through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund from the UK Government. The free sessions in Coronation Park on Saturdays have seen families and individuals of all ages learning to ride or brushing up on their cycling skills. RideWise can loan people bikes and helmets to use during the sessions. So far, the programme has helped over 100 people learn to ride a bicycle and has got 6 residents involved in volunteering for the programmes. The Dr Bike team has repaired over 60 bicycles, putting them back into use. Read more https://bit.ly/3CHXhHz
