Purpose

To maintain and improve the appearance of both New
Mills Central and New Mills Newtown railway stations to make them a pleasant
place to visit by foot, car or by rail. This is done in collaboration with
Network Rail, Northern Rail, the local authorities and the High Peak and Hope
Valley Community Rail Partnership. Our activities include maintaining flower
and shrub borders, planters and signage, undertaking small projects and keeping
the immediate station environment clean and tidy.
Services

We are open to anyone who enjoys volunteering to work
in the open air doing something constructive for other people for a couple of
hours per month. This does involve light to medium physical activity. Our business
meetings and admin work require a variety of office skills and experience, or a
willingness to learn.
