Sharing our conversation
Around 80 people took part in our Community Celebration and Conversation on Friday 5 February 2016, including residents from Warsop Parish, and partners and representatives from community groups and local organisations, including Nottinghamshire Police, Nottinghamshire County Council and Mansfield District Council.
The event celebrated local achievements and the great work being delivered within the community, and was a chance for Big Warsop to consult with local experts on the latest developments within the area.
Big Warsop’s chance to develop a community hub came when a local charitable trust, the Sir John Eastwood Foundation, offered to gift a disused industrial building in the village (the old Eastwood Building) to be used as a youth centre. As a registered charity, Warsop Youth Club had the legal status needed to be able to take on the asset. Backed by funding from Big Warsop, the building was transferred to them in January 2014.
