Rural Community Action Notts (RCAN) has recently acquired 220 acres of land, formerly Newstead and Annesley pit tips, which is to be developed into a Country Park with the local community of Newstead.
NEWSTEAD ENTERPRISE Limited, as the venture is called, has been funded by the BIG Lottery Fund’s Village SOS Programme to help kick start a range of activities including building an innovative Visitor Centre with educational facilities, fishing lakes, and an events site. Income from these will help ensure the future sustainability of the local community by providing a beautiful and environmentally positive resource.

Organised by the FSI, The Great Big small Charity Car Draw helps small charities across the UK raise funds and build better communities.
This year RCAN are taking part, tickets are £2 each which can be bought online.
