Vandalism in the Orchard

Unfortunately, over the last 10 days we have experienced several incidents of vandalism in the orchard on Millennium Green.

Some inconsiderate young people have been snapping the plaque posts located beside the fruit trees and throwing them around the orchard.

We are appealing to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious, or who has information about those responsible, to please get in touch.

We would also ask everyone who uses the Green to remain vigilant and keep an eye out for any further vandalism. If you see any damage being caused, witness suspicious behaviour, or come across any vandalised items, please let us know.

You can report anything you see by:

Messaging us directly via Facebook
Dropping into the Tool Shed
Or Emailing us at [email protected]

Thank you for helping us look after and protect this valuable community space for everyone to enjoy.

🌿 August Work Party Update 🌿

We were treated to another lovely sunny and warm morning for our August work party, making the most of the good weather to get stuck into a range of jobs around the Green and in the wider community.

🌱 Around the Green, volunteers were busy with some general tidying and maintenance, cutting back brambles and willow that had started to encroach on the pathways. We also strimmed back nettles along the footpaths through the orchard, helping to keep the routes clear, accessible and enjoyable for everyone visiting the site. We also spent some time working in the WI Garden, weeding and tidying the area and helping to keep this much-loved part of the Green looking its best.

🛝 A number of our volunteers also headed over to the local children's play park to lend a hand with some maintenance work for the wider community, working alongside the Parish Council.

This included adding new bark around the climbing frame, swings and slide areas to help keep these well-used spaces safe and looking their best. We also started removing the posts from the existing zip wire, ready for it to be maintained and extended in the coming months.

It's always fantastic to see our volunteers not only caring for the Millennium Green, but also getting involved in projects that benefit the wider Derrington community. A huge thank you to everyone who came along, rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in.

As always, there was plenty of hard work, good humour and teamwork — exactly what our monthly work parties are all about!

☕ We meet on the second Sunday of each month, and everyone is welcome — whether you're a regular, completely new, or just curious to see what we're about.

📅 Our next volunteer work party will be on Sunday 13th September 2026, and we'd love to see some new faces come along and join us. No experience needed — just a bit of enthusiasm and an appetite for tea, cake, and good company at the end!

🌿 Derrington Millennium Green – July Work Party Update 🌿

After the recent spell of very hot weather, the temperature was much more comfortable for this month's work party, and a welcome breeze helped keep everyone cool as we worked our way through another busy morning.

The main focus of the day was the car park extension, where volunteers laid the new coping stones along the repaired and raised historic culvert wall that Bob has been working on over the last month, are one of the final finishing touches to a project that has been taking shape over the past year and a half. It's fantastic to see all the hard work coming together and the transformation of this area nearing completion.

Elsewhere, volunteers were busy carrying out general maintenance around the stream, removing large amounts of Himalayan balsam and other weeds that had flourished during the warm weather over the past few months. Tackling invasive plants like these helps protect our native wildlife and keeps this important habitat healthy for the future.

As always, it was brilliant to see everyone working hard, pitching in, and enjoying each other's company. Whether it's tackling the bigger construction projects or helping to care for the natural environment, every volunteer makes a real difference.

We meet on the second Sunday of each month, and everyone is welcome — whether you're a regular, completely new, or just curious to see what we're about.

📅 Our next volunteer work party will be on Sunday 9th August 2026, and we'd love to welcome some new faces. No experience is needed — just a bit of enthusiasm and an appetite for tea, cake, and good company at the end!

What a fantastic day we had at the Derrington Village Fete yesterday!

Our volunteers had a brilliant time running the ever-popular duck races, the football shoot-out, and our stall, where we were selling a range of DMGT products and beautiful handcrafted wooden items made by our talented volunteers.

It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying the day, catching up with friends and neighbours, and stopping by to chat with us about the work we do to care for Derrington Millennium Green. Your support helps us continue to maintain this special community space for everyone to enjoy.

A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stall, took part in the activities, and helped make the fete such a success. It was great to be part of another fantastic village event and to support the wider Derrington community.

Our next event is our July Volunteer Work Party, taking place on Sunday 12th July from 10:00am. Whether you're a regular volunteer or would like to get involved for the first time, we'd love to see you there. Every pair of hands makes a difference
