Burcot

The Lickey Community Group is investigating rumours that a field on Alvechurch Highway is set to become the site of a car boot sale, a representative told Lickey & Blackwell Parish Council.

Blackwell & Burcot WI’s AGM in November marked the retirement of President Pearl Prior, who was presented with gifts by Jean Bromley and Ivy Elvins.

Fifteen women representing Burcot Grange residential care home completed the 5km “Race For Life” in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham.

It’s been a fun-filled month at residential care home Burcot Grange.

Residential care home Burcot Grange raised a record amount for charity at its annual garden party, with staff, residents, families and friends enjoying a sunny afternoon in the picturesque grounds.

Blackwell & Burcot WI welcomed Christine Hickman-Smith, their Federation Adviser, to their recent AGM to conduct the election of next year’s committee.

More than 200 guests enjoyed strawberries and cream in the grounds of Burcot Grange residential care home and helped to raise more than £1,000 for the Acorns Children’s Hospice.

Host families in the Village area are required for the third annual visit by a large group of young French students.

After its summer garden party raised funds towards the restoration of Blackwell First School’s historic gargoyle, a group from Burcot Grange care home presented the school with a cheque for £730.

Another success for Burcot’s annual event.
