Welcome to our Community Noticeboard!

A small tribute to the vibrant Newtown community and surrounding areas, created to celebrate the people and organisations that give this place its character. We highlight local businesses, community groups, clubs, and volunteers whose daily efforts make Newtown welcoming and resilient. Each card in our collection features a local star—whether a long-standing shop owner, a new café, a dedicated volunteer group, or a club that brings people together—and explains what makes them worth supporting.

Our Aim

Our aim is simple: amplify voices and stories that often work behind the scenes. By featuring neighbours on our cards, we encourage curiosity and connection. Learn where to find handmade goods, meet the people behind your favourite coffee, discover places that host free events, and find clubs that match your interests. These introductions make it easier to explore the neighbourhood and strengthen local ties.

Supporting local businesses and groups matters. Money spent locally circulates in the community, helping sustain jobs and services and preserving the area’s unique character. When residents shop, volunteer, and participate locally, they help create safer streets, lively high streets, and richer cultural life. Our cards inform and encourage action—visit a new shop, join a class, volunteer, or recommend a favourite to a friend.

We update the collection regularly to reflect new arrivals and enduring favourites and welcome suggestions from the community. Explore the cards to discover hidden gems, reconnect with familiar places, and find new reasons to support the neighbours who make Newtown and its surrounds a great place to live, work, and gather. Join us in celebrating the people and organisations that keep this community thriving.
