Current Projects

Joint project with representatives from Swindon Wildflower Nursery and Wildflower and Butterflies to improve the Wildlife Garden in the Leisure Gardens site. This will involve running several practical sessions with the Youth Council members to plant hedging/shrubs and woodland edge flowers and devising an on-going maintenace plan for the garden.
The Welcome to Haydon Wick Booklet which had been produced by the Haydon Wick Youth Council several years ago has now become out of date and members have been asked for their ideas and suggestions on how it could be up-dated and improved. The booklet was primarily produced for young people who had recently moved to the area and gives information on the facilities available and who to contact.

Photographic Competition: the Youth Council launched a Photographic Competition for young people living in the Haydon Wick Parish. The competition ran over the summer period and entrants were invited to submit a photograph(s) of building and architecture and/or wildlife and landscape within the parish.

Bluebell Copse: The project was to make the area more attractive to local residents. Youth Council members helped to clear litter, lay informal paths and erect bird and bat boxes.
Every Action Counts: Raising awareness on environmental issues such as global warming, the destruction of rain forests and the level of fuel consumption.
