GET INVOLVED / WHEATLEY HILL

Good things happen when we come together.

Be part of something local. Share your time, bring your ideas and help Wheatley House continue to thrive.

Our charity grew from local people coming together to protect a place they valued. Today, we welcome everyone who wants to help our community feel connected, active and included.

Your time matters.
So does your perspective.

People contribute in different ways. You might enjoy welcoming visitors, helping to prepare a social gathering, organising practical details or sharing experience with a local group.

We welcome an initial conversation about what you enjoy doing and where your interests might fit. Any role or arrangement would depend on the needs of the charity and the responsibilities involved.

Welcoming people

Offering a warm and respectful welcome, particularly to visitors who are joining a community activity for the first time.

Organisation & communication

Sharing useful skills in planning, administration, communications and the coordination of suitable community initiatives.

04

Local ideas & projects

Helping explore ways to bring people together, exchange knowledge and support appropriate activities.

04 / COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Let's create more
opportunities together.

We welcome conversations with groups and organisations that share our interest in a connected and active community.

Wheatley House offers a place for local meetings, learning sessions and appropriate community activities. If you represent an organisation, training provider or community group, tell us what you are hoping to arrange and who it would benefit.

We also welcome residents who have ideas of their own. You do not need to represent an organisation to begin a conversation with us.

05 / HELP SHAPE OUR FUTURE

Looking after our shared
community resource.

Our story began when residents took action to safeguard Wheatley House. Continuing that work depends on people who care about the future of our community.

Our committee helps oversee the charity and guide its work. Committee involvement is different from helping at individual activities and carries responsibilities. If you would like to understand more about the organisation and the appropriate routes to contributing, please get in touch.
