Why We’re Here

Crows nest in Heeley People's Park
Nature Natter Group
Heeley Trust is a community anchor, a charity working in Heeley and Meersbrook, a local employer with a team of around 30 staff and we’re lucky to have the invaluable support of an even bigger team of volunteers. We’re local, committed to this area and the wellbeing of the people who live here.
We believe in the power of people to work together to change where they live for the better and we are determined to keep doing more – we’ll add to this site soon with information on how you could help to be part of it if you’d like to get involved.

People

Big Boulder Festival
We deliver services that genuinely improve local lives and prospects: like supporting older people to feel included and confident to access new services online, or helping people to find training and work, or keeping them commuting by bike and keeping active.

Land

PARKS NEEDS YOU
We built and maintain a beautiful, well-managed network of parks and green spaces. Parks are our lungs, our playgrounds, a place to encounter and a refuge for wildlife and for people alike. They add value to our homes and businesses and attract investment. They are often taken for granted, often abused, their maintenance the first budget to be cut – not in Heeley!

Buildings

Sum Studios Internal
We are developing a thriving community asset base: tackling dereliction and neglect, creating spaces to learn, thrive, run a business or access services. We are celebrating our heritage, creativity and art. Community ownership of assets is crucial – it gives power, permanence and responsibility. Assets like SUM Studios generate income which we reinvest in the landscape around them; an upward spiral and a resilient economy!
