The Wychavon Strategic Partnership has
developed an ambitious four-year project,
Opportunity Vale of
Evesham. The project, which is funded with £420,000
from the first LAA reward grant, will provide help to the Vale of
Evesham’s hardest pressed communities.
The project is targeted at around 1,440 households living in eleven
areas in the rural wards of Badsey, Broadway, Harvington and
Norton, plus parts of Evesham.
Opportunity Vale of Evesham aims to improve skills and
confidence; reduce fuel poverty; and, improve health
within these communities. The project will work with
communities to identify what would make the greatest difference
locally.
One of the projects OVoE are involved with is the
Harvington Youth Project. The youth project aims to bring out
the potential of young people in Harvington, and helps them to
realise their potential and involve them in the wider
community.

*NEW*
The future direction of the project has been discussed and it
has been agreed that:
- OVoE maintains its existing presence in its current areas and
these become the core communities.
- Certain elements of the OVoE project are extended to other
communities within the existing wards, such as Wickhamford,
Childswickham, Aldington and Lenchwick
- Certain elements of the OVoE project are extended into three
new rural wards to enable the OVoE project to operate within the
South East of Wychavon. These three new rural wards will be
Honeybourne and Pebworth, The Littletons and Bretforton and
Offenham.
The next door knock exercise will be taking place in certain
areas in Broadway on Tuesday 23 April 2013, between the hours
of 4.00pm and 7.00pm.
