Bike Week returns from 8 June, bringing a range of free cycling activities across West Northants to help people enjoy the health and wellbeing benefits of cycling.

Join one of our drop-in sessions to have your bikes checked by Dr Bike, learn some basic cycling skills, get tips on protecting your bike from theft, and have it security-marked by the police. (See the comments for the dates)

You can also take part in one of our relaxed guided rides from One Angel Square to Delapré Abbey on 9 and 15 June, using traffic-free and low-traffic routes.

This , we’d like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers across West Northamptonshire for everything you do to support communities.

People like Elizabeth, an apprentice in our Central Business Support Team and a Deputy Unit Commander with the Northamptonshire Emergency Services Cadets.

Elizabeth joined as a cadet aged 14 and stepped into a leadership role at 18. She now helps run the unit, supports its administration, and plays a key role in helping cadets build confidence, teamwork and communication - skills that will stay with them for life.

Thank you, Elizabeth - and thank you to every volunteer making a difference. 💙

Last week, we were delighted to host a community event at Briar Hill, bringing together young people, families and local residents for a day full of fun, activity and community spirit.

There was something for everyone to enjoy, with a great range of activities on offer including sports, arts and crafts, and even axe throwing! It was wonderful to see so many people getting involved and making the most of the day.

A huge thank you goes to all the volunteers from Northamptonshire Association of Youth Clubs (NAYC), Clubs for Young People Northamptonshire (CYPN) and the Community Café. Your support, enthusiasm and hard work helped make the event such a success, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do for the community.

We're always looking for ways to make Briar Hill an even better place for young people and the wider community. If you have any ideas, suggestions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch at [email protected].
