Your Willaston
​Welcome to Your Willaston the hub for events, updates, pictures and local community and business information. Immerse yourself in our vibrant village, where community connection flourishes and together we do more.
​
We aim to make a positive impact on Willaston Village by fostering community spirit, supporting local initiatives, and enhancing the well-being of residents.
Community Notices
Community Notice Boards
​
We are pleased to confirm that Your Willaston CIC has now taken responsibility for the maintenance and management of the two Community Notice Boards in the village.
​
The two notice boards have long been a great village facility, keeping the residents up to date with various village events and groups activities. They also have the advantage of free advertising for local service providers.
​
If anyone should wish to place an advertisement, please email a copy of your proposed advertisement to yourwillaston@gmail.com
​
Subject to approval, arrangement will be made for you to drop off your advertisement to a representative from Your Willaston CIC.
Your advertisement should be presented on A5 size paper or card.
​
Anyone or group currently advertising in the notice boards, if you could please check your ad as many are looking a little faded and possible difficult to read. These may require refreshing. If so, if you could again email as above your request to refresh.
Finally, a big thank you to Hilary whom has long been the custodian of the Notice Boards

About Us
Your Willaston was formed in August 2024 with four main objectives. We achieved our first objective in October 2024 when we became the custodians of the “Christmas lights” which adorn the iconic Beech tree on the village green.Our second objective is to create and support a Willaston in Bloom campaign with the objective of competing again for the “best kept village” - an award that Willaston last won 20 years ago.Our third objective is to collaborate and support volunteer, charitable and businessorganisations in Willaston with their fundraising activities, community events and village improvements. Finally, we are committed to establishing mentoring opportunities for the young adults in the village. To successfully achieve all our objectives, we need the support of residents and the business community. To that end, we are looking to recruit residents and businesses as members of Your Willaston to support our objectives.

Willaston in bloom​
​
Our objective is that by 2028 Willaston will be eligible to enter the Cheshire West and Chester “Best kept village” competition.
2018 was the last known sighting of the Best Kept Village sign that used to be on the Willaston Village Green. Since then, the weeds have moved into the village and are far too visible. Our first priority is therefore to get rid of them. It’s a war on weeds!
Once we have sufficient volunteers we hope to add flower boxes around the village to enhance it appearance and encourage insects and wildlife.
Collaberation
​
We want to collaborate with the existing volunteer and charity groups in the village.
This is what we did with the Rotary Club at the Christmas lights switch on in
November.
In collaboration with Christ Church on 14 December 2024 we had a full house at the
Memorial Hall to witness an amazing classical guitar concert from the Katona twins.
The event raised £1,100 with 50% being donated to the Christ Church renovation
fund.
The following week in December we provided two Santa Claus to the Hadlow Road
Station Cafe to support their Santa Christmas party for their customers.
We would love to hear from other groups in the village as to how we can support
them. Just fill out the contact form or email us at yourwillaston@gmail.com
