Tattenhall Repair Cafe

A successful application to Spacehive and CWAC for funding has resulted in enough funds to set the project up from this July. The funds have come from various sources- 40 people pledged to back the project which meant that Cheshire West Crowd Fund and the Tattenhall Parish Council have topped up the fund to £2915, so the project is off to a healthy start.

Mindfulness/meditation sessions.

As part of the Community Resilience Plan Transition Tattenhall has set up a weekly Mindfulness/meditation session in St Albans church, Tuesdays 18.15-1900. This is a quiet peaceful place to sit in silence with others – turn up, sit down, listen, breathe ......feel better.

The Mini Meadows project

This is already underway with a number of gardens around the village setting aside small areas of their garden to just let the grass go and see what happens or to actively sow wild flower seeds. This will be an ongoing project, but the first walk around the village to see the progress will be on June 26th- watch out for little notices going up around the village and understand why someone's front garden is looking slightly different than usual. Some garden owners will be available to discuss the project and talk about the benefits of encouraging more wildflowers in your garden.
