Thank you to the trader or private individual who decided to donate their garden waste on our Church lay-by on Village Court, Village, last Monday evening . The third time this has happened!! Possibly a gardening firm or trader - if you would like to clear it in the next 5 days we will not be taking further action.

Charities already face significant challenges with funding, having to deal with and paying to clear someone else's garden waste is not included. Local CCTV is being checked to identify the vehicle used, you passed several camera points so we are giving you a chance to do the right thing.

It was great to see Kellogg's UK & Ireland employees in the Centre this week for their own meeting. I was delighted to share some of the unique history of Old Trafford and Trafford Park with them. Great to see so many enjoying the Heritage Centre exhibits and artefacts as part of their team building !! Fantastic to speak to so many who had never heard the stories of the Village and the work of the Centre. Many brought gifts for the foodbank - thank you!!

Soon we will announce our Summer Exhibition about Kelloggs and its links since 1938 with

Why not book a visit for your employees or local group - fun and excitement all around.
