We support Rawtenstall Britain in Bloom competition entry

We recently donated £500 to Civic Pride Rossendale, who have prepared Rawtenstall for its entry in the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Britain in Bloom UK 2023 Finals.

Pride in Britain

Supporting our communities

Rawtenstall in Bloom is representing the North West in this year’s Large Town category of the Britain in Bloom National competition. Our £500 donation has been used to buy paint for the bollards and benches around the town, as well as specialist plants for sensory planters. 

Civic Pride Rossendale started in Rawtenstall in 2000 and is a group of volunteers who dedicate their time to making Rossendale a better place by gardening and litter picking. They work to restore public gardens while also planning, creating and maintaining new ones.

Lynn Smith, Vice Chair of Civic Pride Rossendale, said: “We are very grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s donation and support. We are so pleased that all the hard work by our volunteers is being recognised and that we will be able to showcase our gardens, community spirit, heritage and vibrant high street to a wider audience.”
