Recent projects –
Removal of dilapidated railings:
In 2024 we were sponsored by EF Education First, Headington Action & Sandra Homewood Funerals to replace some ugly fencing on the gates towards St Clements Church with some repurposed railings. We intend to re-imagine this old route by re-instating the Lime Walk with some new trees and some wood chippings. In 2025, we have funding again from Grundon Waste Management (facilitated by Trust for Oxfordshire Environment) for two new notice boards, one of which will talk about this old carriageway to the church.
P3 People, Plants, Pollinators:
Over 2023/2024 our entrances saw a major transformation with a variety of flowering plants selected to attract pollinators. This continues over 2024.
This revamp was supported our generous sponsor Grundon Waste Management Ltd. over 2023. The continued planting over 2024 is with help from Headington’s Waitrose and Finders Keepers plus CIL funds disbursed by Headington Action.
