Scouting offers challenge and adventure to young people age 6 to 25. The 1st Shipley (Windhill) Group provides weekly meetings with a programme of exciting and challenging activities designed to develop teamworking skills, self-reliance, life skills and public service awareness. The meetings are supplemented by away days, weekend and longer periods in camp or bunkhouse where basic skill in caving, climbing, mountain navigation, canoeing, outdoor cooking and a host of other activities are provided. We also give basic training in skills such as first aid and fire precautions and opportunities to develop hobbies such as photography, ornithology and gardening. Training is available for leaders. All activities are controlled by the Scout Association's "Policy, Organisation and Rules" and by relevant Government regulations. Currently our programme provides for young people age 6 up to about 18 years. Those aged 18 to 25, if not in a leadership role are catered for at District level. Leadership roles are available from age 16 to 18 as Young Leaders and 18+ as Adult Leaders. Full training to national recognised standards is provided for all leaders. For those not wishing to have a regular commitment we have vacancies for advisors and helpers at all levels and a variety of disciplines as well as administration openings.

2tshirtgang, run by Anthony, Trinity and Cleo, is a sports specific training academy based in Bradford.

The trio wanted to give the youth in their community access to professional training.

They support young clients with aspirations to go on to be a professional in sports, educate them in health and fitness and endeavour to keep them off the streets.

2tshirtgang recognised that health was poor in the community due to lifestyle, lack of education and limited access. Wanting to change this, 2tshirtgang was born.

Anthony and best friend Trinity have been training together for a few years. In the past youths and people in the community started to ask if they could train with them. However, their workouts were intense and people began to learn that when they trained with them they needed to bring 2 TSHIRTS to change into, halfway through the workout. This stuck with them as a nickname, and organically grew into the business name!

Services offered include:
Personal training
Youth functional training
Athlete training
Community functional training

Abbeyfield’s vision is to provide a service which offers a home for life, integrated in a local community with high quality accommodation and a stimulating environment to maintain a socially active community that will directly benefit the mind, body and soul.

ACORN is a mass membership organisation and network of low-income people organising for a fairer deal for our communities left behind by companies, councils and parliament. We know that the economic and political set up in this country isn’t working for us, so we set up ACORN to win the power and representation we are entitled to.

The idea is simple – a national community organisation along the lines of a trade union; organising our communities and fighting for a better quality of life. What began with a few local residents trying to tackle slum housing in their neighbourhood has quickly developed into a national organisation with thousands of members and branches across the country.

Allotments & Gardens Association – Growing Together in Addingham

Below is the formal Constitution of Addingham Allotments & Gardens Association, with records showing its formation back in 1973 when a small group of villagers wanted to start a ‘Gardeners Club’ to promote their interest in gardening by sharing tips and ideas as well as promoting the therapeutic benefits of gardening.

Today, Addingham has around 135 allotments spread over 4 sites around the village plus approximately 1,500 houses all having differing sized gardens or maybe just the odd planter or pot!

Challenges from the impact of climate change, the quest for a more sustainable approach to protect our environment and reduce food miles makes the combined effort of all of us ever more relevant. Add the ever-changing economic situation and it makes growing more fruit and vegetables an obvious and rewarding pastime.

Why not join us by becoming a member.

At Addingham Civic Society everything we do is about stimulating community interest and involvement and in actively safeguarding the quality of life enjoyed by us all, in this wonderful village. Our website is regularly updated with everything that is going on within our organisation, as well as what is going on in the local area that may be of interest.

This is a new independent initiative to encourage community involvement and promote wellbeing within Addingham and the surrounding area.
