Welcome to the Broughton Astley Volunteer Group website. Established in March 2020 in response to the needs of villagers shielding or self-isolating during the Covid-19 pandemic. We now offer our community the chance to recover and reconnect through social community groups. Come along and join us, you will be made very welcome!
Coffee Sessions
Held weekly in St.Mary's Church, Broughton Astley. Coffee/Tea and the good biscuits! Come along and meet some new friends. Mondays 10am - 12 noon
Kurling & Boccia
A new age version of Curling that is played indoors with red & blue Kurling stones. Boccia is a Paralympic sport using soft balls and a jack, similar to bowls. Both games offer a perfect platform to compete and socialise with friends old and new. Tuesday mornings & Wednesday evenings Broughton Astley Village Hall
Community Gardening
We have a gardening group that tends to various planters around the village, including the wildlife areas at the allotments and St. Mary's Church. We also have a community allotment with smaller manageable beds. If you have green fingers and don't mind getting them dirty - come along and join us!
