Friends of Tranmere & Droughty Peninsula – Get Involved as part of your new year resolution!

As we fast approach a new year, Friends of Tranmere and Droughty Peninsula is seeking locals who are passionate about our community and interested in connecting with other great people to help volunteer and represent local interests.

Whether your interest lies in our local environment, community development, or simply bringing people together, we would love to hear from you. New year also means new ideas, so we welcome everyone!

It’s important that local voices help inform Council and other stakeholders on issues that matter to our area. Our group has been active for the past four years and has developed strong, constructive and respected working relationships.

If you’re interested, please reach out via PM, we’d be very happy to have a chat and discuss further.

Together, every bit helps.

Wishing everyone all the very best for 2026!
