The Co-operative Food - Whiteley, Yew Tree Drive

Wickham Community Centre is a vibrant and busy community centre in rural Hampshire. We are developing a range of community projects to enhance the lives of local people. These include: • The Wickham Pantry - run by volunteers to provide discount food to its members with the aim of food justice for all. • Wickham Community Garden - an oasis of calm, providing gardening and learning opportunities and produce to village residents • Wickham Community Fridge - saving food from landfill • Meon Valley Tots - play and stay activities for parents and young children • Monday Lunch club - a monthly gathering for older residents • Wickham Flicks - a monthly cinema club, a world away from the multi-screen experience The centre is a charity and run by local people, for local people. Its facilities provide local groups and businesses a venue at an affordable price. The centre offers a wide range of opportunities, from crafts to education to sports and more, all locally and not for profit.

Whiteley Wanderers Youth Football Club is proud to champion the growth of girls’ football. As a nonprofit organisation run entirely by dedicated volunteers, we’re committed to creating opportunities for girls to thrive both on and off the pitch. Our U11 Fawns girls team currently competes in the Hampshire Girls Youth Football League. We have an exciting vision to develop this team into a pathway that leads to forming a future women’s team — empowering players to continue their football journey into adulthood. Beyond the game itself, our sessions nurture personal development, build lasting friendships, boost confidence, and teach valuable life skills — all within the heart of our local community. Today, Whiteley Wanderers supports over 100 girls playing football every week, and that number continues to grow each season. Girls’ football is now the fastest-growing sport in the UK, and we’re proud to be part of that movement.

Abbeyfield Court is a building of 16 apartments for independent living in a safe and interesting setting, with strong connections to the local community and support services. Relaxation and inclusion are also an important part of life at Locks Heath. Space and time are made for residents to relax, reflect and have some me-time – we feel it’s important to balance this with exercise and socialising.
