On Saturday, the Woodside Network hosted a fantastic community event right here in Woodside, and it was all about listening to local voices and turning ideas into action.

As part of Woodside Decides, 17 people came along to share what matters most to them and how we can make our area even better. The energy in the room was brilliant, and it was clear that people care deeply about their community.

We heard some fantastic ideas: from small changes that would make a big difference, to creative ways of bringing people together. Local people spoke about things like improving green spaces, organising activities for all people in the community, and making Woodside more connected.

The best bit? Thanks to £5,000 of community funding, several of these ideas will now get the support they need to move forward! Whether it’s tools, materials, or help with getting started, this funding is here to make things happen.

Woodside Decides is all about giving power back and making sure change comes from the people who live here.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came along and shared their thoughts. And if you couldn’t make it but want to get involved, there’s still time!

Whether you’d like to help, support someone else’s idea, or just stay in the loop, we’d love to hear from you. Just drop me an email at [email protected] and let’s make it happen, together.

Woodside is full of ideas, passion, and people who care. Let’s keep the momentum going!
