Spring has sprung, the snowdrops have been replaced by crocus and daffodils and the sound of birds getting busy making nests heralds a new season and with that, optimism that we are all moving slowly forward on the route out of lockdown.
Activities for our organisation at this time have mainly been focused on maintaining our public open spaces for the community and work will be starting soon on repair works to the stone walls at the allotments along Herd Lane. We have also maintained the availability of essential stalls, who are still attending under the Market House on a Wednesday and Saturday.
We have been approached by the Town Council regarding sponsoring jointly a 7ft Kingfisher Sculpture as part of the wider Cotswold Trail, which is due to take place from May – October, to be sited on the Millennium Green and we are pleased to be able to support this. This will be in celebration of the partnership work which has taken place between the Feoffees, Tetbury Town Council and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust regarding the regeneration of the watercourse and natural habitat, as part of the Wild Towns Project.
Finally, we have been pleased to provide the Bowls Club with a grant to purchase sets of small woods to help them to develop their youth section.
If you think we may be able to help you or your group with an education or training grant or would like to know more about the work we do in our town, please visit our website – www.thefeoffeesoftetbury.co.uk - or speak to one of our members.
