Conversations

We’d love to say hello.  If you feel like a chat it would be great to hear about….

• Anything you’re interested in?
• Where, when, how you’d like to meet up with others?
• What inspires you about your local area – likes and dislikes?
• What you need to make something new happen?

Our Aims

This Community Can, generously supported by the National Lottery Communities Fund, has been running since 2019.  We aim to:

• Create chances for local conversations to happen and connect people
