A Fresh Look for the URC Church Yard

Before & After: Community Payback Team Makes a Visible Difference

We’re delighted to share the transformation of the URC church yard, thanks to the hard work of the Community Payback team. The space, once overgrown and neglected, has been given a much-needed tidy-up—bringing new life to a site that holds meaning for many in our community.

Take a look at the before and after photos below to see the difference for yourself. We now have clear pathways, the change is striking—and a testament to what can be achieved with teamwork and care.

While the future ownership of the site remains uncertain, Stainland & District Parish Council is coordinating ongoing support from the Payback team to help keep the area tidy and respectful. We’re committed to maintaining this space as a safe and welcoming part of our village environment.

If you would like to get involved in local projects like this, we’d love to hear from you.
