 our stated aims are to :

• · Help regenerate the community and environmental sustainability of the New Mills area;
• · Provide an opportunity for public-spirited people and organisations to contribute financially to the community, with the expectation of a social dividend, rather than personal financial reward.

• Examples of the ways in which we may carry out our aims include:

• · Developing and operating a grant system out of the revenues from the Scheme;
• · Developing an educational programme on environmental issues;
• · Developing new or existing services to the local community that contribute to the local economy.             More..............
