This week, Ricky and Chris have been busy on Church Street, giving the area a well-deserved tidy-up 🌿. They’ve been tackling litter, pulling up weeds, and cleaning around business fronts and walkways, all part of our ongoing efforts to make our streets cleaner, safer, and more visually appealing. 💙 The support from local businesses and the kind words from so many of you have been amazing, thank you! While out working, they even discovered four shopping trolleys in the River Stour (now safely removed!) and gave the circular planter outside Greggs some attention too, wire-brushing between the brickwork for a fresh, sharp finish. Step by step, we’re making a visible difference together. 🌱 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #community #support #local #love #new #events #green #gardening #cleaner #safe #plants #support

Yesterday we attended the grand opening of H E L P - Supporting People In Need, the local charity that’s been supporting homeless people in our community for many years, whether that’s through providing clothes, food, or helping people get off the streets. This new space has transformed an empty high street unit into a welcoming place that truly makes a difference. 💙 HELP continues to make a huge impact on our local community with their ongoing efforts, providing not just support, but also a hub where people can reconnect with others, build themselves back up, and find a safe, friendly space to belong. The new café space also includes a small retail offering, helping to further support their brilliant work and the people they help every day. 👏 Shazu Miah, who is Chair of HELP, was there alongside fellow trustees Jason and Fran Orboski to celebrate and show their support for this fantastic new community project. A special mention also goes to Jo, whose dedication and hard work helped make this all possible. 📍Tulip Tree Centre, Castle Road (behind tesco) #Kidderminster #worcestershire #local #love #support #events #community #new #charity #loveit

We’ve got to give a massive shoutout to Ricky Carter, one of our Kidderminster BID team members, who went above and beyond for our community this summer! 💙 After hearing that Kidderminster & District Youth Trust (KDYT) were left without a minibus, Ricky took it upon himself to set up a GoFundMe to help get them back on the road. Thanks to his efforts, and the incredible generosity of local people, over £2,000 was raised to support the purchase of a brand new minibus. 💙 That minibus means more than transport, it means opportunities, trips, and experiences for local young people. We couldn’t be prouder of Ricky and everyone who came together to make it happen. #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #loveit #local #love #family #events #new #support #community #youth #charity

Last week Ricky and Chris spent their time deweeding some of the busiest footpaths in the town centre, making them easier to navigate, more visually appealing, and safer for everyone. Along the way, they tackled overgrown bushes and vines, helping keep nature under control while improving accessibility. 💙 It’s been a big week, over 70,000 steps walked and 10 bags of litter collected, and we’ve loved hearing all the kind comments from the community.
