Greenway provides a safe place for local people to meet. We seek to enhance the quality of life of the Sneinton area, residents and their families, by actively promoting participation in all aspects of community. We provide a focal point for services, information, and activities that promote independence and increase inclusion in the community. Programmes we offer promote active lifestyles, while allowing people to use their skills to reach their full potential.
Why the community needs usWe provide a safe venue for people to meet, hold social gatherings, cultural and educational activities and a place for people to get involved. Our aim is to improve people's quality of life by contributing to the social, physical, economic, educational and environmental well being of the community. Greenway is run by local volunteers and part time staff. We try to identify the needs of our community and work with partnerships and agencies to respond to local need.
Our impact on the communityWe just completed a very successful holiday club which ran during the summer 2012 school holidays. We were successful in a funding bid which meant we were able to offer a full programme of sports activities, art and crafts, drama, dance classes and healthy eating food workshops. Most of these opportunities normally out of reach to most of the young people who attended. Giving to Greenway ensures that we can continue to provide these activities during holiday periods and after school hours.
