3Cs logo transparent 400

3Cs is a friendly and informal group of villagers who come together on the third Wednesday of each month to make a positive difference in our village. The name stands for Cut, Clear, and Clean – which neatly sums up what we do!

Founded in 2017, we began by focusing on practical tasks such as cutting back overgrown verges, cleaning road signs, and litter picking around the village. As the group grew in numbers and enthusiasm, so did our ambitions.

Our work has since expanded to include improving views of the church from the roadside, and clearing the stone wall around The Clump, enhancing both the look and feel of these well-loved local landmarks.

Whether it’s trimming hedges, picking up rubbish, or tidying up communal spaces, 3Cs are always looking for ways to keep the village looking its best.

New helpers are always very welcome – it’s a great way to meet neighbours, get a bit of gentle exercise, and contribute to the community. The group meets at 10am on the third Wednesday of each month at the church lytch gate. Just turn up with sturdy gloves, a cheerful spirit, and any tools you can bring.
