Our Place Wye aims to nurture a more inclusive and integrated community ... more resilient and responsive to individual needs, age and social profile ... Stimulating a healthy, caring and sustainable community in Wye (Kent) and the surrounding area.
Our Place Wye CIC has run a number of projects since 2016. Among our most successful have been:
This takes place every other Wednesday in school term time. Diners are provided with a two course lunch at the large village hall in Wye for a small fee.
Our FB group is monitored by the Our Place Wye administrator. Currently it is partly supported by subscriptions from local businesses who use the site for advertising. There is also a sister site called WyeBay which is for buying and selling and which is free to use for everyone.
Work on this garden began in 2019 and was finished in 2024. Work was carried out exclusively by volunteers, coordinated by the Kent County Council community warden.
The village newsletter goes out four times a year to every household in Wye (about 1500 households in total).
The newsletter is written and delivered by volunteers, coordinated by the Our Place Wye administrators.
The Wye Health Information leaflet, available for free at the surgery and at the library, has details of a number of local and national organisations which support people experiencing financial or health difficulties.
The Wye Welcome Pack is distributed to people who have just moved to the village.
The Our Place Wye thank you tea party started in 2023, as a thank you to people who have volunteered in the local community over the previous year. We also now manage the annual Christmas Street Party and are starting a new event in 2025 - a freshers’ fayre where village organisations can recruit new members and team members.
